Daddy tools

one of the girls' favorite toys is a set of tools. I bought it from Discovery Toys (and this is not meant to be a commercial pitch but the is one of the best toys I have ever bought). The set comes with an airplane, a motorcycle and a racecar which can all be taken apart and put back together with the included screwdriver or battery operated drill. (drill also excellent for tickling little tummies). Both of my babies love this toy! But especially because they can only play with it with their daddy. It sits on top of the bookshelf, rather than in their toy box. The girls will go stand at the bottom of the bookshelf, reaching for the little case until I remind them they have to wait for daddy. Despite being a very cool toy, I suspect that this special "daddy only" status is what has made it such a favorite. But regardless of the reason, the girls love it. Daddy gets it down and the three of them sit on the floor, taking apart the vehicles and trying to put them back together. Ladybug usually sits in daddy's lap, Butterfly sitting next to him. And I like to just hang out on the couch and watch. :)
