Ludotheque

Eliot, Ivy, and I went on an adventure yesterday and discovered an easily-accessible ludotheque.  A ludotheque is like a toy library.  For a very nominal fee, each kid can borrow two toys for up to three weeks at a time.  I am so, so happy to have found this.  It will be nice to change things up without needing to purchase new toys and... dare I say it... waste a bunch of natural resources to make something that's only going to get played with for a couple of weeks anyway.   Thankfully, most of the toys available are wooden and don't have on/off switches! 

Bad news: they close for school holidays.  Sigh.
