I just cleaned out our toy room, and am amazed at how many toys we have amassed over just a few years.  I am also surprised at how my kids focus on their few favorites time and time again.  It’s funny how I would have never bought half of the toys we have if I would have known that my kids would pass over them regularly.  Or how I would have bought multiples of some of our toys.  You just never know what your kids are going to kind of like, and what they are going to LOVE.  Well, in retrospect, I can say that the best money EVER spent on a toy was on this:

The mini Kick scooter.

Talk about the best scooter around.

Scout can be seen on his scooter at least one hour a day — on a slow day, and possibly up to three hours a day on a good day.

He rides it while I cook, while I am feeding Icka, and whenever anyone is downstairs to watch him — and that is only when he is inside.

His regular is to hop on his scooter, stop by the bread drawer, and scoot to his little heart’s delight.

Sometimes he is so anxious, he skips the whole part of putting his underpants on before he runs down to scoot.

For anyone looking for the best toy a little boy could love, INVEST.

It is worth every penny.
