What's in Jasper's Wallet?

Jasper loves to play with Momma and Papa's stuff. He loves to talk on Momma's cell phone and play with Papa's keys. One day we were all sitting around in the living room when I suddenly heard a car alarm going off in the street. I was grousing out loud about the person who had such a loud alarm when I suddenly realized that it was our car and the boy had pushed the panic button on my keys.

He loves to open Jen's wallet and take out all the cards. After a few head scratching sessions trying to figure out where Momma's library card went, we came up with a solution: Jasper needs his own wallet. So we found an old nylon velcro wallet with Mashu-maro on it, and tossed in a bunch of random worthless cards. Currently, he has a couple of parking stubs, two expired phone cards and a handful of fake credit cards that come in the mail offering low low interest rates.

He's getting pretty good at putting stuff away in the wallet now too. It's really good for his fine motor skills as he's learning to put stuff away in the little slots and windows. And it's a toy that cost us nothing, and keeps him out of our wallets.
