great. Need kinds that look nice even when untucked (nursing in
mind).

& other than that, not too picky. I only have 2-3 that fit me right now.

(or maybe cinnamon or vanilla, maybe rose)

Toys R Us
(Think this is the right kind...),
especially "crazy"/flexible track (Made by "Imagine", sold at Toys R Us,
significantly cheaper but looks the same as Thomas brand.)
Ebay often has good deals on Crazy Track. Don't get "take along" sizes or
"track master" sizes. Only get train things that go with wooden tracks.
- *Thomas "Talking Railroad series"
cars and destinations (has Cranky, barrel company, and Salty.) He asked
Santa for the Lighthouse destination for Christmas, so the elves already
are getting that one.
- *Henry
the train (ebay prices usually better)
-
Great Discovery Talking Railway Set (was at $45 last Christmas, now
can't find under $100. If you see a deal, yell our way!)
- Small/Take Along
size
Bob the Builder & friends stuff (We have
Dizzy and Lofty already)
- 4T Boy clothes (he likes
*trains, familiar characters)
-
White Sunday shirt 4T short sleeve. We have sufficient ties and vests.

14 so far, but there are lots more. Maybe
Great Discovery?)

Also loves yogurt/gogurt (NO ice cream or regular milk though), strawberries, any candy of course...

-
Boondocks or Bowman's gift cards. (The only good stores start with B, he
says. Smiths and Home Depot aren't good stores.)
Michael's wish list
-
*Lawn
mower (he may ask Santa for this) and/or
Popcorn popper (our old one broke)
-
*Boats. He LOVES boats. He is always pretending that something (a box, a
xylophone, etc.) is a boat.
-
This
or other small water+sand tables (might be a good combo gift for the 3
boys, actually)
-
Couldn't find good
price, but here is a
toy riding boat that he'd love ($80, so hope you find a better deal!)
-
Signing
time dvds,
(We have #1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 from the first Signing Time series already)
- Sign
Language board books:
- Small CD player for nursery, nice
if it could play tapes as well. Remote control is nice bonus, but not
important.
- maybe more Noah's Ark stuff? No shelf space left, floor space
is tight too...
- Diapers or training pants size 4
- Finger foods, strawberries, candy, healthy snacks, canned oranges
- More for mom, but a newer rocker recliner for nursery (old one's
cushions are flattening a bit)
- We are REALLY
at a loss what to give him since we already have many clothes and toys and
books... so ideas are very welcome!
