Pages left that is, in my 3rd book (and it's only January, frankly, I'm doing well!) on my list for 2008. It is so thick, but it's wonderful.

I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore!
