Toys

Here's a fun article about toys:

And this was my list of Zack's current favorite toys---for anyone who follows Zack's blog, this list will be old news, I wrote it for facebook:

1. His parents, especially the inside of his dad's mouth, but also his mom's belly button, which for some reason makes him laugh and laugh.

2. The cat, though this is mostly a one-sided game of tag.

3. The dishwasher, and assorted included kitchen implements, but especially the dishwasher drawer itself---also the inside of the refrigerator, but that is pretty much off limits, so I don't think it counts.

4. Assorted iDevices, including iPhones, MacBooks, and the iMac (this is where his list gets a lot more expensive than the Wired list) and the silicon iPhone cover, which is the standard consolation prize, and, for Zack, still an integral component of the iPhone.

5. The Aeron desk chair, and all the furniture, really, but especially the Aeron chair because it articulates in so many ways.

6. Metal fixtures and implements of all kinds, hinges, screw heads, door knobs, elevator buttons, zippers, and, of course, keys!

7. Books---he actually really enjoys being read to, will sit through a dozen books, and reads to himself for extended periods of 3 minutes and more.

8. Paper recycling, and cardboard boxes, but especially paper, good for destroying---so far he rips up magazines on sight but hasn't ripped a book yet---I don't know how he knows the difference. I guess it helps that most of his books are board books.

9. A $2 set of stacking plastic cups: in and out and in and out and in and out, etc.

10. Mirrors---these were a lot more interesting a couple months ago, but they are still great favorites---CDs are fun in part because they are mirrored on one side.
