It might just be the loudest (and at times, the most annoying) toy we own...the train. It has a zillion buttons, all of which play a million different sounds and songs. It only has 1 volume -VERY LOUD, and NO off switch (really, there is no way to turn it off unless I take the batteries out). However, it is a favorite of every kid that comes into my house. Handley got it for her 1st birthday from Mimi and Dadaw. For the longest time her legs were too short to push it on her own. She didn't care though. I think it was 10 times more fun for someone to push her "fast" around the house. Gosh I remember having a backache from leaning down and pushing her around all day long.
Well then the train lived in our basement awhile. It had lost it's appeal and was just something else I tripped over. However, it's back! Handley's legs are too long for it now, but she has had fun pushing it around. The little girl in love with it now is Harper! She loves pushing all the buttons to make the songs play, sitting on it and being pushed around, and if it is upstairs on the carpet, she uses it as a push toy to walk behind. Thankfully she has a big sister who is sweet enough to push her around so I don't have to get a back ache doing it this time around. :-)

Harper looks like she is having a blast. Jude got something like that for Christmas...haven't taken it down yet...maybe I should take out the batteries first!
Such a cute, cute story. One great thing about having kids so close together in age is that we can recycle all these toys. (And then when the last one is done playing with it, they can be gone forever!!!)
Glad to see the train found new life. I remember Marlee lovign that thing when we visited the first time:-)
