Treasure or junk - just don't ask me

One of my favorite things about the Swap Shop is that you get to pick your own treasures and they are never what I would expect. They had a brand new "Tickle Me Elmo" there today and as I have been thinking about getting you one for Christmas, I was excited to see how you'd like it. You didn't play with it for 30 seconds.

But the broken work goggles with the lenses missing? You played with them for over an hour, figured out how to get them on, and then wanted to wear them home.

It is also a treat to see some other kid playing with something you don't use anymore. Half the time we've been over there lately, someone is playing with a doll wearing one of your old dresses. It makes me smile every time.
