LOL, Debbie, I can relate. We allowed no guns or swords and guess what our boys played with when they went to other people's houses to play? This is a cool page!
I can remember babysitting my friend's son, who wasn't allowed guns or swords to play with...and the first thing he did was make one out of lego!! I can also remember him using my daughter's pink toy hoover as a pretend machine gun...WHAT on earth were you doing buying your daughters a toy hoover I hear you gasp! Well, I didn't. I think it was a present from their Gran who probably hoped by some miracle that they would learn what a hoover was for at the age of three then grow up to be meticulous clean teenagers with immaculate rooms ?! — need I tell you it didn't work!!
Thanks again for such great LO's and prompting memories of my daughter's childhoods Debbie
