Christmas is Coming

And so is Toby's birthday! So here are the lists (since I keep getting bugged for them!) For both his birthday and Christmas we are asking for only those things that we know he will play with especially with Liliana coming home and having her things around the house too. Our house is OVERFLOWING with toys that he does not play with and we just do not have the space to continue that trend. I hate the idea of having to box up toys that were given to him because we just do not have the room. We are also asking for no stuffed animals. He just isn't interested in them. He loves his bear and a kitty cat that he has and that's it. The rest just take up space. I tried to find items that were at Target or Toys r US for everyone's convience. Once you have chosen an item to get him please let me know so that I can remove it from the list. Some of the items are expensive and nonrefundable and I would hate for you to waste your money buying something that has already been purchased. The list will also be placed in the sidebar so that after the next post you won't have to come looking for this one. I really hope this helps all of those family members that every year beg me for ideas.

Birthday List (we are trying to keep this smaller as christmas is only a month later):
1.Anything Wiggles (Books, DVDs, CDs)
We have the following CDs: Wiggly World, Yummy Yummy, Here comes the Big Red Car,
and Racing to the Rainbow.
We have the following DVDs: Dance Party, Wiggle Bay, Santa's Rockin, Toot Toot, Yummy Yummy, Woowho Wiggly Gremlins, Wiggle Play Time

2.Books: He likes board books, lift-the-flap books and books that you can touch or interact with (not musical ones though)

3. Clothes: He is in 18 months now. Look for pants with adjustable waists however, since my boy has no hips or butt to hold them up. He is also in size 5.5 shoes and quickly heading to size 6

4. He's getting into coloring now so large crayons and drawing paper would be great.


Christmas List:
1.Clothes (see above)

2. Books

3. Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium Family Membership

4. Megablocks (any set or sets will do)

5. Lifestyle Dream Kitchen with Maroon or

Green Countertops (PURCHASED)

6. Little People Racin Ramps Garage

7. Battat Farm House (we like this one because it doesn't make any noises so Toby can make his own

I hope these ideas help. Toby is really starting to develop his imaginative play and we want to encourage it, hence some of the bigger items to help him play with and explore his smaller toys that we already have. He also is fascinated by driving. I'm not sure what toys are out there for this obsession of his but you never know what you might find.

For Greg and I (short and simple):

1. Bath Towels in Beige and Off-White/Cream

2. Queen size sheet sets

3. Gift Cards to buy new clothes with (Greg likes Kohls and JCPenneys, I like New York and Company, Kohls, Penneys, Old Navy)

4. Gift Cards for going out to eat or to the movies
