  2. I love the wooden airplane and luggage cart! I can see so many little todds loving that! Tower of pisa would be a challenge, but fun too! You could build it and have an italian dinner night to celebrate!

  3. Great ideas, and at many different price points. Well done. Just a heads up on anyone considering a Melissa and Doug 'sounds' puzzle -- they are possessed. They make sounds all the time, for no reason! It's totally freaky to be brushing your teeth for bed, long after kiddo has gone to sleep, only to hear "MOOOOOOO" or "WOOF WOOF" from the depths of the toy box.

  14. Joanna, I LOVE all these gifts! PERFECT for our little Georgie (just a little younger than your Toby). We already have the picture book from Pinhole Press (per your earlier recommendation). He LOVES it along w/ anyone that comes to visit our home. Georgie has just under 30 1st cousins so this has been a god send! XO

  15. My fave is the photobook and seeing the pic & text of grampa reminded me of how much my little monster loves my dad and only Grandpa who he endearingly calls "Sho-pa" {If I had to guess how it was spelled}. I personally want those taxi leg warmers for myself, how fun are they!!

  16. I'm an elementary art teacher & the first project of the school year I do with kindergarteners is read "Along a Long Road" & then we make our own very long roads, using different types of lines. Kids love that book! Especially when the man pokes his head out of the tunnel :]
