One of the things you realize as a parent is that the educational / fun / heavily-marketed toys are really not the toys that kids like to play with.

The true brilliance of Esme is shining through. She is definitely a new age child and therefor it seems only the logical thing for her to use as a toy is an electronic remote! Only a new age child would think of that. That being the case, you can give back all the expensive toys we were planning for Esme and share that box of remotes I have been collecting for the past 15 years. Unfortunately by the time she gets to use the remote it will be obsolete and all she will have to do is talk to the device and it will respond. However, it looks like she is really having fun with the remote. Bless her – she is a doll.
