[tri-med] Re: Birthday Toy

The big button is called big red or big buddy.  There is also a smaller one 
called a jellybean.

We have gotten many musical toys at walmart or another dept store like that 
for elanor.  anything from pianos to toys with removable parts that play 
like sections in an orchestra.  there are lots of toys in the baby aisle!  a 
lot of them aren't very babyish either.
