Connor's *Official* Birthday Gift Idea List

That's right. This is the one and only Official List of ideas for what to buy Connor for his Birthday this year. Compiled by me. And I even did field research, so you know it's good data.

First, as his Mommy, I know what he likes. Then, to make sure my list was accurate, I took the Small Tot of Honor to the toy store and pushed him around in a buggy and asked him about all the toys on the shelves. He told me all about what he wants.

(BTW - I call a shopping cart a "buggy." Kevin thinks this is strange. What do you think?)


Now for the Official Idea List. In no particular order:

  • Thomas the Train wooden train set stuff. (He already has the starter oval track that comes with one Thomas engine, and he also has the Signal House.)
  • Hot Wheels Cars or those little soft Tonka "Wheels Pals" Cars
  • Step 2 Playhouse or jungle gym. (All he has right now is the smallest stand-alone slide.)
  • Little People Nascar Race Track. (He has a lot of the other Little People stuff, though, so feel free to ask if there is another set you have your eye on.)
  • Anything related to Disney Cars, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, or Sesame Street
  • He also likes books, puzzles and art stuff
  • A little table and chairs
  • A little art easel
  • Those big yellow Tonka Dump Trucks, Diggers, etc.
  • He is currently wearing size 2T in clothing
  • He is starting to get interested in dinosaurs. (He says, "Wow!" a lot when looking at books about them. It's sooo cute.)
  • He *loves* lawn mowers. He already has a push mower that does bubbles, but maybe there is something else out there that I don't know about.
  • Muscial Instruments. (Although this might be tricky - he already has a ton of percussion instruments and a "guitar.")
  • A little tent.

Hopefully you can get a good idea from this list. If you have a particular question, though, feel free to ask. I can keep a secret from Connor until his birthday.

Oh yeah if he doesn't and you approve it's our idea and we will be getting it. Let me know.

Does he have a sand box? And do you approve of them? You can do a LOT of digging in there, trust me sandboxes are very creative and Z can spend hours being very imaginative in it.

He doesn't have a sandbox. What he has is a divided water play table that we usually just fill with water on both sides, although we could put sand in one side. I do approve of sandboxes, so if you want to get him one, go right ahead. :)

Would you post a picture of what he has. I'd hate to duplicate.
