Toy Shopping

We have wanted a new toy for Sydney ever since we saw one that Leon had at Jake's house.  It would bounce balls around and shoot them out the bottom.  Sydney really enjoys putting things into other larger more spacious things.  I'm being vague because she will do that with most anything.  Keys into cups. Toys into the toy basket.  We tried to look in the row of baby toys where we had bought most of her other toys.  We quickly realized that Sydney had graduated past these toys and we needed to search elsewhere in the store.  That may have been a mistake.  It wasn't a mistake because we did find the toys.  It was a mistake because we didn't mentally prepare for the onslaught of overwhelming mass that was the toy section of the store.  Not toy aisle like we were used to.  It would probably be better described as a quadrant or a sector.  We found many, many good toys that Sydney would love.  But we ended up retreating from the toy quadrant in shame before we ended up buying all the toys available.  We took some mental notes for Christmas and Sydney's birthday, but we had to vow not to return unless it was absolutely necessary.  Here are the toys that made their way into our cart before our hasty departure.
