I have taken everything made in China away and have them in a large plastic storage box. The only thing left out that is made in China is Alyssa's lime green knobbie. She loves it and I do not have the heart to take it away. I am going to run it through the dishwasher. She has played with it so much that she already has whatever was bad on it. The girls have only Nylabones, nylabones on ropes for tug of war, and I did find a toy that I am assuming is American. It is a soft bite floppy disc and has a US patent applied label on it. I am letting them play with it. I also have a yellow football for Alyssa which did not have the word China anywhere on it. Everything else is put away. I tried getting both girls to play with some of the toys that they have left. Nothing attracts them. They are still trying to steal their toys back from the China box. It has been so hard for Alyssa because she is the one who likes the latex squeaky toys. (the louder the better). She does not understand and looks at me like I am doing something awful. We have all of the squeaky toys from WM...green monster, yellow monster, yellow dino, purple monster...she loves them all. They were so cheap...I should have known something was wrong.
