Indispensible items-coloring books, paints, markers and blocks. Wooden or lego-ey ones. Not into itsy bitsy legos yet. But blocks are awesome. And coloring. And naps.

"Indispensible" at my house = any broken toy of any size or (prior) importance that I've thrown away and yet failed to completely and competently 'hide' from view.

When my cousin Jeannie was pregnant, I would visit and keep her 2-year-old Jeffrey entertained.

Wearing pots on our heads and seeing how long we could keep them on as we ran around.
was the A#1 activity.

Pots also worked for Jeff's son - except he went the Gene Krupa route.

We also have an entire snackbar concession in the couch and chair. Disinfectant wipes are my perfume. If you need chex mix or popsicle remnants I'm your gal.

It's loads of fun trying to get crayon off my white stone hearth! I just ended up putting a planter over it! I have the ever present small table and 4 chairs which has been and still is used a lot! Why do sippy cup lids disappear like socks in the washing machine?

The bigger question here is, why are you putting sippy cup lids in the washing machine? :lol:

Our disappears reappear in a cupboard or under furniture or in the closet. Unless it's the car remote that DOES get washed and occasionally dried in the laundry...

I just bought new cups with lids. Let’s see how long before

Lids with leashes, that's the ticket!
Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and Goo Gone are practically my fashion accessories at this point.
