The current issue of parents magazine has a little piece about developmentally-appropriate toys for different baby ages. For 9-12 month olds (can't believe Eleri is in that category already), they recommend musical instruments, and it's true, Eleri does love to bang (any) two things together and dance. So I pulled out Clio's drum, a Christmas gift two years ago from my cousin Jesse and his family, and plopped it in front of Eleri.
Success!
And the mallets are, apparently, also good for teething. (You can see her first two top teeth- gap and all- in the first photo).
As it turns out, nearly-3-year-olds find great pleasure in drumming, too. Especially when their little sisters are using their drums. Two good ways to give past toys new life!
