The problem is that instead of adding things each day, I keep taking things OFF the list.
I hate having too much stuff around. Also, Des doesn't need too much stuff. Living simply is one of the concepts I hope to instill in him. It will help him to become more imaginative with what we have. As it is, he's perfectly content to play with an empty box. Or a few tupperware lids. Or a broom.
Seriously, he played with the broom for like 45 minutes that day.
So his wish list has been pared down to books, puzzles, a few movies, and a couple of outdoor play items. Oh, and this of course:
Start 'em early!
But honestly, I think if we wrapped the toys he already owns and loves in spankin' new cardboard boxes, he'd be psyched.
Neely might enjoy it also.

The twins loved playing with brooms! How funny. They almost took eachother and me out a few times with it! I thought of a cute idea (it's a certain book) for Des.

I always feel torn when buying our niece a gift. Like, the practical part of me just wants to give her a savings bond or money to put in her college fund... but then I see all the cute little girl clothes and accessories and I lose my mind. It's a tough row to hoe!
