A coworker of Andre's passed on these two riding toys to the kids last week, which have caused much fun and many arguments. Naturally both of them make noise too, so the volume level in our house can dramatically increase when these are being played with!

We were at my cousin's house for dinner this past weekend, and they passed on a toy vacuum cleaner that their son was afraid of--Ethan LOVES it (maybe I clean the floors too much?...as soon as he sees me get a broom or my vacuum, he goes straight for the same thing. Now he'll also get down on the floor in front of the vacuum because he likes the light that comes on).
