I have a one year old ds, and whenever I am in mothercare or whereever, i feel totally overwhelmed by the amount/diversity of toys on offer (never mind the expense) consequently he has very few bright new toys to play with. he seems to really enjoy just simple stuff like my kitchen utensils, or supervised play with stuff in daddy's shed, the piano, drums, boxes, cupboard doors, my hairdryer, anything that isn't a toy. And yet when I visit my sister, whose 2 girls have a whole playroom of play kitchens, garages, barbies, cd/dvd players, i feel like a really bad mom and as though my ds doesn't have many toys at all. Should I go on a spree? If so, where? And what? Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I just can't seem to figure out what to buy, and am scared of buying the wrong thing coz it all seems so damn expensive. ?40 seems like a lot to shell out on something he plays with twice and then discards for more fun with the box!!! iyswim.
