But I have had several "what do the girls want" requests. So I this is a post for that. And hopefully remember to send an email that I posted...
Rebecca - she wants everything.
**travel case/bag for her pink Nintendo DS Lite. She also wants games for said console as she currently only owns 2 Tinkerbell games and a Disney Princess game.
**travel bag for her pink Leapster - would prefer somewhere to put her 6 game cartridges. She currently has PetPals, Wall-E,
**Disney Princess or Disney Fairies magazine - just saw they were available and she likes to get regular mail.
**Crafts & Coloring stuff - she likes to make just about everything. The hardest part is trying to put it where Meredith can't get to it. And that gets harder each day.
**American Girl doll clothes & accessories, especially Rebecca's things. Or anything that fits an American Girl doll.
**Strawberry Shortcake and My Little Pony are quite popular right now too, except the tiny fingers finding it and putting it in her mouth.
**clothes - size 7/8 from the D-signed collection or Harajuku Mini at Target. I have resisted anything from either collection. The toughest part is that she's fitting into clothes that are much older than she is yet. My favorites are still Hannah Andersson on her - size 130.
**We are going to Disney in April and she knows about it. She is also trying to save money up to go to a Princess Makeover at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique (which is scheduled for the castle on the Friday morning we are there). She's getting dress, hair, nails, etc. And she's doing pretty good so far. We're trying to learn about saving up money.
**Toy Story Hawaiian figures - especially Jessie. She hasn't even seen the short though because she refuses to watch cars 2.
Meredith - she's a mess but I'm not sure she'll be aware of what's going on this year. Wrapping might be the most fun for her.
**I rarely say clothes but I can't find enough light pink, cream or white leggings/footless tights for Meredith. She's in 2Ts for the most part but her winter wardrobe actually fills her closet (3 bars that are 4 foot each) plus an overflowing wash basket that I don't have enough hangers to hang it all up with. She has 2 PJ drawers that are completely full and I had to put 8 other sets to the side. Maybe I shouldn't try so hard to catch up on laundry... She will probably be in 3Ts before I know it so bigger is not necessarily a bad thing for her. (And I'm serious about her wardrobe - I counted 14 holiday outfits, not including the T-shirts). The Harajuku Mini collection from Target would also be welcomed. And Hannah Andersson - I cannot have too much of this. Size 100 with size 90 and 100 bottoms lets me get another year out of it! And if you think the prices are high, consider that I just got a dress back that Beca wore for almost 2 years and then 3 other little girls wore it for at least a spring-fall each and it still looks brand new on Meredith. She does not look good in yellow/orange/limey greens like her sister does.
**Toddler coloring sets - there's too much watching big sis do all her school work and not being able to draw and color too. But she eats regular crayons. I thought I remember some special ones that were Doodlers or something like that.
**learning dolls, animals, books,etc. as long as it doesn't have small pieces. She puts way more stuff in her mouth than Beca ever did and she loves things that talk, sing, etc. If it could please just have an off switch. Or a speaker that can be taped over.
**Whatever toddler thing looks fun. We have A LOT of Stuffed things though. And she likes to eat fabric stuff.
**If anyone can find a used outdoor toddler playset with slide, tunnels, etc., I'd love to have one for her but I know she'll outgrow it sooner than later since she already loves to climb the clubhouse and go down the big slide. So I think paying a lot for one is a little crazy since she probably won't use it for too long. But she could use something that we can just let her go on.
Steve - he just got a fantastic work toy - an iPad. Specifically, though, he is asking for these:
- a bag - http://www.ebags.com/product/timbuk2/freestyle-messenger/221881?productid=10148042
- a case (isn't that loads of fun?!?) - http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/e6e2/?srp=2
- protectors - http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Products-iPad-ShieldView-SPK-A0326/dp/B004SGSHKC/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1321900792&sr=8-10
Me - I'm pretty clueless this year. I really just want Rebecca to love what she is opening and be able to feel grateful for it instead of just wanting more and more. Oh wait. Now I remember who I'm talking about. I probably could use some more up to date work clothes and other items of clothing (AT Loft, Ann Taylor, Belk, Macy's, etc. - I don't shop in teeny bopper stores and I'm not posting my size because I find a lot of things in my size don't actually fit me enough for me to feel comfortable). I eat at McDonald's every morning (actually usually just pick up my tea). I really need someone who can help me organize the house but that might require more vacation time than I have right now. And I need someone to clean the house. I'm fortunate/unfortunate that they put a Target in just a few miles away. And there are more shops going in over there. Dangerous... And I like iTunes as well - there's a bunch of music I am after.
