They were very sad to lose some of their favorite toys, but they also understand that its for their safety. Unfortunately, they had a very hard lesson this past January in how important it is to keep one's safety first when my brother was taken in a completely avoidable auto accident. They tend to annalyze everything carefully when we discuss potentially dangerous to their health issues and don't put up a fuss when its time to dispose of hazardous things. They really love making things together too, so they will have a wonderful time this weekend stitching up some homemade furniture. I think it hurt me seeing their little faces when I told them we had to get rid of their things than it actually hurt them having them taken away.
