OK, here are the Christmas lists...
By popular demand I'm posting Christmas lists for the kids here on the blog - I hope this isn't tacky or anything! LOL
Here are some thoughts I had for Will. I saw a Leap Frog toy that goes on your refrigerator called the Word Whammer (I think). It has three spaces for letters and all the letters of the alphabet are magnets, so you can spell simple words. I think it would be a great way to learn his phonics, because he REFUSES to watch the Leap Frog video. Won't even look at it!
Any kind of play-doh set that lets you create food would be fun for Will. He's always making me do hot dogs and hamburgers and whatnot.
Here's a list of Thomas trains that Will does have:
Die-Cast: Thomas, Percy, Gordon, Molly, James, James and the Bees, Murdoch, Bertie, Bill and Ben, Ned, the caboose, Jack, and the troublesome trucks. We have the roundhouse and the take-along set that has the washing shed.
Wooden: Thomas, caboose, Bill, Murdoch, Neville, the troublesome trucks, the recycling cars, and the breakdown train. We have the figure-8 track set with the water tower.
He really likes the Duplo lego Thomas sets. We have the one with Thomas and Tidmouth Sheds, but not any of the other ones.
There's a feature-length Thomas movie out there somewhere that we don't have - they advertise it in the back of his Thomas books so he really wants it. I think it's called the Magic Railroad or something. We got Will the Cars movie and we're going to save it for a Christmas present, so any Cars toys would go over well I'm sure. He's kind of obsessed with the tow truck. He also likes toy dinosaurs and animals - those little plastic ones. He's always trying to get me to buy them at the grocery store. He likes lizards too.
As far as Ben goes, it's really difficult to pick something out. He's not really doing much yet, so most of his toys are little shiny, sparkly, or crinkly things. He really likes crinkly - it's his favorite sound. I can't keep him off the disposable wipes packages. He LOVES books - Peek-a-Who is his favorite. Any litte colorful board books would be great - we don't really have any with textures in them. He needs clothes and he's in a 9 month size now, so probably by Christmas 12 month clothes would fit well.
We don't have many of the Little People things - we have the schoolbus and the farm. I think he would like any of those sets and he could also grow into them. We have the Incrediblock and the Peek a Blocks train, so any other Peek a Blocks toy would be cool.
So that's about it - please don't take this as a request for presents from someone who wouldn't normally be getting the kids one!! This is strictly informational for anyone who was going to get them something anyway. I told Will I was making a list for Santa when he asked me what I was doing. :) Here are some gratuitous pictures to make up for the lists:
