Christmas lists
Since relatives (grandmas) are starting to ask what we (Ellis) wants for Christmas, I thought I'd start early with the Cmas list.
Ellis
link to his Amazon list to jumpstart ideas.
A few ideas of things I'd think he'd really like:
a SMALL, simple, WOODEN dollhouse with a FEW accessories (I really like the Melissa and Doug one I linked to on the Amazon list).
WOODEN or FELT/cloth play food
you can't go wrong with art supplies, stickers, coloring books, Matchbox cars, socks. He's starting to get into dressups, so maybe crafty ones can make funny hats or something. You get the idea.
Please talk to me before you get anything "major".
I think his big toy gift from us will be a toy tool set, so no one else get that for him.
Clothing size 3T. Shoe size 8 1/2.
Also I thought about getting him a baby doll and accessories, since he loves playing with them. But I think we'll save that for a "big brother" gift come May (which will be kind of appropriate then anyway)
Membership to the zoo and/or the Please Touch Museum would be great, too.
Christopher
his Amazon list is up to date (note esp. the DVD of Through Deaf Eyes)
Chris is happy with DVDs. He loves DVDs. You could even get a dollar bargain DVD and he'd be happy.
Good "littles" include wool socks, salty snacks, apple butter
Jeannette
regular Amazon list (incl awesome crafty books) and Mommy Book list
gift cards to Old Navy for maternity clothes
cool fabric
rotary cutter and cutting board and measuring stuff
don't get me socks. I know I used to like socks, but I'm really picky about socks now.
Family Membership to the Art Museum and/or the Morris Arboretum(!!)
a great non-stick pan
a watermelon (it's my favorite)
I'll keep thinking to add some littles for my brothers with no moolah. I like Skittles. *shrug*

That's just what we did for Addie...her doll and accessories is in the mail and ready for us to hand to her once she visits Mama and baby boy in the hospital. We're giving her the gift from Alasdair and that way she'll have her very own brand new baby to take care of while I'm taking care of her baby brother.
Skittles, eh?! :)

Would you be willing / able to give me any pointers, references
