So, The Squirt™ got this spiffy Learn And Groove Musical Table from her Oma for Christmas:

The good news first: the baby loves this toy. She slaps and tugs at all the little moving, colorful, flashing parts on it like the excitable little madwoman that she is. As I’m sure everyone involved here knows, the songs [...]

Of all of the many, many interactive toys that were bestowed upon our daughter this past Christmas morn, by far the most popular with her has been the Melissa & Doug Wooden Sushi play set from Uncle Andrew and the Brooklyn Nerd Dads clan. Not only does it look awesome, but the claim that it [...]
