of the ether to utter:

What am I missing? Just about the only thing I can think of is a
taller basketball hoop. Or, more vehicles - but that's just more of
the same, as far as I'm concerned. Or books & videos.

Any ideas?

A water sprinkler to run in outside?

DD got a blue's clues sprinkler when she turned 1, from my brother.
She loves the darn thing (she's now 3) except she wont let us use
it as a sprinkler - its one of her 'babies'. Currently wearing a bib
and sleeping under a receiving blanket. But a very good suggestion!

When my dd turned 3 we bought her a My First LeapPad.
Brilliant toy, as you can add the books for gifts at christmas and
other birthdays.

Emma really likes her leappad too. And for computer software,
she likes the Dora the Explorer games.

To Irene: We got Emma a tricycle but you said Tom has one.
Do you have a wagon? We bought one of those a few
months ago and she really likes it for going to the park.
Other hits for her this year: One of those tracing things
(her's is Dora, but crayola makes one too, it has a light
and you put a sheet with a design on it covered with
blank paper, the light shines through and they can trace).
She's on a Dora kick so anything Dora was a hit.

She's really into board games, Candyland and Hi Ho
Cherry'os. She's been getting alot of milage from
a memory game we got from Hearthsong (fabulous
catalog - you could peruse there and see tons of
things you like).

Oh, and the other thing she really liked was from Lego

She loves this!

Have fun...
