Ah. Shoes and water bottles.

I spent most of the day watching my friend's one-year-old Isaac. He's got to be one of the easiest kids to babysit. If you want to play with him, he'll laugh and have fun, but if you want to do something else, he'll happily entertain himself for hours. He has a lot of toys, but he seems to be more entertained by objects like shoes and water bottles. I've noticed this about kids. They always like the unusual things as if the new expensive noise-making toy is just not that cool. Boo ya for boxes, which seem to be a universal favorite of toddlers the world over.
