New Toys

Here is Taylor playing with her brand new gently used Nintendo DS Lite, purchased off of Craigs List for the awesome price of $50. Two games were included in the deal, and since they crossword puzzles and brain teasers, we just took them both to Game Stop and traded them in for one that is more age-appropriate. Amazing, she seems to have matured 2 years in the 14 hours since we picked it up (read: sitting still for more than 10 minutes, following directions, significantly reduced tantrums and crying). Boredom breeds misbehavior, it seems.

Maddie's new toy, er, is actually the kitten's new toy. But she loves it! So does the dog. Cat hasn't much touched it...
