When we have a baby, we begin to acquire many products that we will now need: clothes, furniture, bottles, stroller, car seat and other accessories that will be useful for your care. There are other objects that are not indispensable, but it is also important to have them ... or not?
Let's talk about baby toys: are they really indispensable? A mother shares in a cute and funny video that this is not always true and that sometimes babies prefer the simplest and most common things we already have at home, instead of the toys that are for them.
Esther Anderson is the mother blogger of Story of this life who has given us on previous occasions fun videos and reflections of what life is like with young children, like those moments when they "help" us to tidy up the house and thanks to that little help we never really finished anything.
In Babies and more Why you should not give too many toys to a child (and what can you give him instead)Now, he has returned with a short and slightly accelerated video to show us another of the things that happen when you have babies at home, and that many of us discover until we are already parents: Children prefer common household items, instead of the colorful toys created and purchased exclusively for them.
In the video, we can see how Esther gives Tessa, the youngest of her three children, various objects and toys at the same time, so that the little girl chooses between them. And as expected, Your baby always preferred common objects such as the TV remote control, keys and mobile phone, instead of her own toys and dolls.
Of course, his video was filled with comments from other parents because the same thing has happened to all of us at some time. Even that famous anecdote that surely happens to all of us comes to mind, when we buy a big toy for our children and it turns out that they prefer to have more fun with the box in which it came.
While the video was made with a sense of humor, from it we can take a message and a small reminder: We do not need to fill our children with toys to have a good time. Not because they conform to the objects we have at home, but because the funniest thing is not really toys, but the time we spend with them, with or without accessories.
