Utility Bills & Toys

I am so happy to report that my utility bill has gone WAY DOWN since we moved back to California! It was a nightmare for me every month when we were in Texas. To have to pay such high electricity bills and not even enjoy the cool air. Because any cooler and my bill would probably shoot up to $500 a month so can forget about buying diapers for Cael! And toys? Yeah right! So the lesson learnt is not to buy a house with so many square feet and get a heart attack when you find out how much it costs to run it. Well, mistakes make one wiser. (that is, if you don't repeat it)
Now the problem is not being unable to afford to buy toys for Cael but what we can buy that will hold his interest for more than two minutes? This boy only likes forbidden stuff. He does not want anything freely accessible to him. He likes to eat shoes, stick a plug into his mouth, pick and eat stuff off the floor, break the TV remote control. He'll probably stick his hand into the toilet bowl if given an opportunity.
