There's this thing about kids in the house - the weird noises. Even though we try to keep toys with batteries out of the house, they find their way in. Sometimes, randomly out of nowhere, a toy on the floor or in the toybox will feel neglected and remind us that its still alive and kicking... or singing or whistling or wheels rolling. It still startles me sometimes.
These poor toys have been given so much attention and in the process been over-loved. And then one day they're abandoned. And I understand why they suddenly call out in hopes that someone will remember them. Their only hope is to find another child to love them and play with them. Time to go purge the kids' closets and toyboxes to clear out the old stuff!

That's hilarious, because that just happened the other day to us! It was about 5 am, and I heard noises downstairs. The toy was asking someone to "Come sing and play games!" I stumbled downstairs, opened its little trap door in the back, and we both went back to sleep. Poor neglected toy. ;)
I've been trying to figure out how to tell our families not to buy so many things for the kids. It's going to be tough, but I have to do it. It seems so wasteful to have so many toys.
