Keeping this very short to avoid outing.
DD had two friends to play today. In the garden and sandpit. All well and good. Her friends are sisters, about 18 months between them. All children aged under 4.
Sandpit/outside toys all outside.
Bit hectic, repeated asking other children not to throw gravel, bring toys from house outside etc. Trying, but normal.
Then mum of friends extracts from her youngest DD one of my DD's toys, a pullalong she's had since birth with buttons that make it talk. Well, not anymore. It's full of sand. Her DD had taken it from inside and buried it in the sandpit. It's beyond repair.
I'm not normally precious but it was one of the first toy we got DD and we hoped her new brother/sister would also play with it.
I've googled a replacement and it's not made anymore. Amazon is only place at £25+
WIBU to ask for a replacement?
