EMB's 1st Birthday

As Ella's first birthday quickly approaches I find myself trolling the Target toy aisle with a bit more scrutiny. What can I get my daughter that won't induce seizures? Why all the blinking lights and music overload? Is it me or is the toy industry in cahoots with the pharmaceutical giants? Is it any wonder kids cannot pay attention in the classroom? If only teacher's heads could spin and flash like the disco ball at Berlin. Poor Ella, stuck with a fuddy-dud of a mother. Dear girl, I hope I lighten up once your reach your teen years.
