Major innovations

Stuff Abby loves:

• Things that make noise
• Things that fit in her mouth
• Things that are easy to hold

Stuff mom loves:

• Things that are cheap
• Things that Abby can't swallow
• Things that don't make messes

So after raiding the pantry for some dried macaroni and carefully removing all parts of the coke label that she might otherwise swallow, Abby has a new toy, and I feel justified in paying too much for that cherry coke I just had to have.
