We discovered on our plane trip to L.A. that Ben really enjoys looking at toy magazines. For a little boy that seems to go non-stop, this is one of the few things that can get him to stop moving for any length of time! I am so happy when a new magazine comes in the mail. Ben crawls into my lap and we look at all the toys. The bonus is that it is helping with his speech, too! We talk about colors, shapes, animals, etc. We have invested a lot of time and money in children's books that claim to do the same thing, but those don't hold Ben's attention for long ~ but a good toy magazine seems to keep him intrigued for a long time!
