North loves plastic. Sinking the elongated teeth of his lower jaw into a soft, hollow piece of plastic is North's bliss. Over the years, I've continually searched out new and different toys for him to try and his favorites have evolved and changed. I was finally able to give up the search after finding hollow plastic whistles that are shaped like trains. I bought them from a shop where they were being sold as foot toys for birds, but I've since upgraded to buying them in bulk from a store that specializes in magic tricks and birthday party favors. North loves them and can destroy several a night. (Nocturne also enjoys them but not in such an obsessive way.)
Whenever I get a new shipment of the train whistles, I run them through the washer and dryer in a lingerie bag. Then they go into a Meijer shopping tote that hangs next to the Reptarium so I can distribute as needed.
A few weeks ago I heard something rustling around in the bag full of hollow, plastic train whistles.

Surprise!
Since that first foray into the bag, North has gotten into the habit of playing in there every few nights for anywhere 5-30 minutes at a time. He dives. He chews. He tosses around trains like a superhero.
