Penguin Slide
This was part of a larger journal entry, and we broke out this photo to give a special shout-out to the penguin slide. It is featured in one of the Baby Einstein videos and Mikey was happy to watch the penguins climb the stairs and slide down repeatedly.
Mikey couldn’t have this toy when he was younger because he used to put non-food items in his mouth and we were afraid he would choke on the small penguins. When he outgrew this dangerous habit, it was safe for him to enjoy his penguins in peace…without worry for us.
So fun!
