    My infant loves the pet toys, especially the baby chicken on an elastic string that very easily wraps around her and is now gone.

    My cats love the infants squishy block toys because they can bat them around. Also have one cat that just likes chilling near the baby even though she gets her tail and fur grabbed and gummed a lot.

    My dog loves all of the food the baby throws on the floor.

  • I’m an uncle who gets to see my nieces and nephews rarely. I just got back from a trip where we were clearing out grandma’s house; she’s a hoarder and kept a bunch of her daughter’s toys, so 3-yo grand-daughter had a sudden cornucopia of age-appropriate new (to her) toys to play with.

    One day she ended up in my wife’s and my room, helping us pack for the return trip. She latched on to a small empty travel pill bottle and started zooming around the bed with it like it was a car (although, sometimes it flew). The bottle looked nothing like anything; just a random short cylinder of plastic, but she amused herself for at least a half hour with it.

    Boundless energy; boundless imagination. We’re quite amazing creatures.
