toy toss

Busy D,

You've learned how to throw things over your shoulder.

We keep two plastic bins of toys in the living room on the side of the rug that demarcates your play area. Often now you'll scramble over, rear up on your knees keeping one hand on the edge of a bin and start pulling out toy after toy. The selection process is quick and definitive. Anything less than the right toy for the job is unceremoniously hefted over your shoulder and dropped, descending into apparent oblivion, as far as you're concerned. Unblinking, you do not waver from the task at hand, though rejected toys may pile like mountains at your heels.

Dad
