Well, Billy pushed that truck on every flat surface in the house he could find- carpet, area rugs, wood floor, linoleum, the coffe table- you get the picture. But he refused to get ready for daycare because he wanted to play with his truck. He was very late to daycare and I was equally late to work as a result.
Before dinner Billy was back to pushing that truck around. Then he switched over to he musical instuments- all wood percusive instruments, of which he has a whole collection. These are new and so far he prefers the maracas.
After dinner it was bathtime. Again, Red Boat was tossed from the tub. Nemo too, so I guess Red Truck shouldn't feel too lonely. Daddy added a new old toy to bathtime, an airplane that was his. Billy did not want the airplane in the tub with him and kept tossing it out. Daddy kept dive-bombing the tub in return. So Billy started saying "aw play ow, aw play ow!" I think this translates to "airplane out!"
After bath it was time to play in his room and immediately he was toting around Yellow Bear and Winnie. He even started brushing my hair for me with his little baby brush after watching me demonstrate how to use it. And we pulled some books down from the shelf- he loves to look at books, but currently does NOT want Mommy to read them- he can do it himself! He even turns the pages (although often the book is upside down).
Billy carried his own bottle in to bed and then it was sleep time. When I put him down he curled up with Winnie and Yellow Bear and fell fast asleep, happy and sated.
He spent the whole day sans toys with batteries and had an absolutely fun day and I don't think he missed those singing, blinking, battery-powered toys at all. Sometimes when it comes to toddler fun, no batteries are required.
