I work with kids and have a growing collection of toys for work. When I go to the dollar store I have to be prepared! All my littles love toys and shopping trips and my head gets very loud with all the excitement and comments and requests. It can easily take an hour to get out of the store because of all the mini switching. I tend to lose my thoughts a lot in the process and I absolutely need a list on my phone to remind my what I went in there for!
My littles have their own toys, and once I considered bringing one to work to use with a client, but Ash was quick to let me know that was absolutely unacceptable! Oh my, if I hadn't listened to him or wasn't in touch with Ash we certainly would have had some kind of awful emotional experience! So we all know that their toys are off limits for anyone else, but they can use my toys when we're at home. I still need to work out an allowance for toys, though. It would help a lot!
