LL's Wish List

Everytime we visit friends with little ones, I am always curious to see what LL will play with. She is always fascinated with others' toys (hers--not so much). Luckily, things have gotten a little better since her birthday b/c she received some more age appropriate toys (before it was mainly rattles, and little baby toys). She loves playing with all of her books, puzzles, dolls, and ride-ons that she received.

However, a girl always wants more!! Although she can't quite use the words to tell me what she wants, she can definitely show some actions.
For example-the top item on her list to Santa is a kitchen set. How do I know this? Well, all she wants to do is play in cabinets! It was also the first thing that she went to when we were at a friend's house last week. And this weekend, while visiting the local toy store, she spotted one and headed right towards it! She played with it the entire time! She also pitched a little fit when it was time to go.
Here are some other things that we have seen while out and about:
A shopping cart was another favorite at the toy store!
such as this one by Little Tikes:

or this one by Fisher-Price:

LL would just love to be pushed around in a wagon with boyfriend (she tried one out recently w/ some friends and just loved it):

or go on a stroll with mommy and daddy around the neighborhood in this (boyfriend uses his ALL of the time--his is red of course!):

As much as she likes to bang things together, I am sure that she could create her own beat with this:
She is never too young to learn how to manage her money (mommy still needs a lesson in this):

She just loved playing with these magnets and listening to the farm animal sounds at a friend's house:

She also has so much fun playing with little people sets such as these:




And what would be more fun than a wagon full of blocks to build, bang, or dump?

We would also love to add some of these to her Disney Classics collection:









Wow! Her list is so much more fun to create than ours (and easier too)!! It will be so exciting to watch her this holiday season. Last year, she mainly received clothes since she was so little, but I am anxious to see her tear into all of the toys this year (plus we all know that this child has PLENTY of clothes-ha--blame that on her shop-a-holic mother!) Hopefully, I can refer back to this list for myself and to provide ideas for our families.
I can't wait to start my Christmas shopping on Thursday!
