Potato Lovin'

I'm going to give all you parents out there some top-secret information that the CIA of baby and kid toys doesn't want you to know.

Babies totally don't need toys.

Like, ever.

Most especially, MY baby. 

Yesterday he played with a bag of potatoes for an HOUR and a HALF.  A bag of potatoes.  He took each one out of the bag, one at a time.  He moved them to the table, one at a time.  He felt their weight, balanced them on top of each other, tossed them on the floor, put them on the dogs. 

For an hour and half.

I even found a potato in my underwear drawer.  Like potpourri, I guess...or a little reminder from my little man!

And then, the day before yesterday he played with a jar of paper clips for an hour.  Putting them in the jar, taking them out, moving them one at a time.

Yup...so all this little man's getting from Santa is a bag of potatoes and a jar of paper clips! 

PS.  I seem to remember another family member having a potato obsession some time back...maybe Chloe's been teaching Cole some tricks.
