Funny story...ever since we got back from Christmas we have had these loud phantom toy noises coming from the living room. Caleb got a few really noisy toys for Christmas and we thought it was one of the cars but couldn't figure it out. We would get ready for bed, long after the kids are in bed and suddenly we hear these car noises coming from the living room. It even went off in the middle of the night one night when Caleb woke up and Ben walked through the living room. None of the new toys have "off" switches so there was nothing we could do about it.
So, Ben finally solved the mystery last night. Caleb got this puzzle that has all sorts of transportation vehicles on it. When you put the puzzle piece in it's spot it makes the noise of that vehicle ( car, train, etc...). Ben finally figured out that the way it does that is a light sensor. When it gets dark on the picture because the puzzle piece is there, it makes the noise. It turns out the airplane one is especially sensitive and every time we turn the lights off, if the puzzle piece isn't in it's spot, it makes the airplane noise! Really, who ever heard of a puzzle that takes batteries? It's a cool puzzle though, a little cooler now that we can control it's noises! Caleb loves it. Thanks Christy and Danny!

I laughed so hard! Something very similar has happened to us! We have a nursery rhyme toy that Z got for his 1st birthday. It was shortly after our whole mouse issue. I was home alone (the kids were sleeping) and I was sitting on the couch and had just put in a DVD so it was silent and i heard "Mouse! Hickory dickery doc, the mouse ran up the clock!" followed by some mouse squeaking.
