As I might have mentioned once or twice, Cara's birthday was last weekend.
In preparation for the blessed event, my mom and in-laws had been quizzing us on what presents they should buy for the rugrat.
Initially, [as in several months ago] we said, "Get her anything! She really likes kitties, but we figure she'll like whatever you get her."
What more could a grandparent ask for than carte blanche permission to buy their grandchild whatever they wanted?
And then Dora and Boots were recalled. [See! I told you they were EVIL!]
Every time I turned on the television, something else was being ripped from the shelves due to excessive lead levels.
Hold on. Time out.
Am I the only one who thinks that any level of lead is excessive?!
I feel better now. Back to the story.
I meticulously picked through Cara's hodge podge of toys.
Most are stuffed animals and books with the occasional block tossed in for good measure.
None of her toys were on any of the recall lists.
BIG sigh of relief.
After the initial recall, my tune changed a bit when it came to potential birthday presents.
Links to recall lists were emailed and I was emphatic about the evels of Lead Level Dora and her sidekick Bad Boots. [Sounds like a super hero, no? An evil super hero]
What I really wanted to tell everyone was to buy her wood.
