Wondering if I should get rid of all the toys we have that are labeled "Made in China" because of the massive toy recall led by Mattel. What about the little companies that do not regularly test their toys? Seems like Mia's entire toy collection was made in China. I think the Waldorf folks are right about something. Just give your kids sticks, acorns, pine cones and homemade felted or knitted toys.
Mia had her lead level checked during her 15-month check-up. It's not done routinely unless you live in an old home or are in some risk group. The lead check is something that I think pediatricians should make mandatory in the wake of the recent recalls. Today vinyl bibs were recalled! I really hope sippy and straw cups aren't next. Mia's lead level was fine, so I'm relieved, but won't let my guard down.
On a side note, a few days ago, I ran over Elmo. Mia's plastic Elmo that lit up (not part of the recall) had fallen onto the garage floor and I forgot to pick it up. He was squashed. Oh well. One less plastic toy to worry about.

Glad my kids are out of that phase... shoot. You did well by driving over Elmo. :P
Are you sure driving over Elmo wasn't on purpose ;)
We bought lead testing kits from the hardware store and Kevin tested all of Lucas' toys.
