We have been going to a fun lap-baby story time at the library each week. A very nice lady reads a few books, sings a few songs, and does a few bouncy-knee or hand-clap baby rhymes for twenty minutes, then the babies all play on the floor for the rest of the hour. The library has a cool stash of baby toys, and Babystar loves the balls and the cars. Anything that rolls, really.

We didn’t have any cars for her to play with at home. Until now. I picked up this cool six-pack of Battat Monster Trucks for $8.99 yesterday. So bright and pretty. So far she likes watching me roll them on the floor. And she likes to eat them. I am looking forward to some serious monster truck floor shows this year.

(And I bought a giant pack of Costco wipes for $19.99. I wasn’t even out of wipes. I was just at Costco.)
