Kim,
Man, what would Aidan do? How could he decide between the hot twins or the sultry older woman??? I think you love clear across the country...Texas?? I am in NJ. Just figures, though...every on-line friendship I have made is like this. We live thousands of miles apart!! ~Megan~ Aidan Matthew & Alexis Valerie Born September 28, 2002 www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/aidannalexis |

Hi...getting in a little late about the cash register. I'm not familiar w/the
one you discussed. But, our girls have one we picked up at our Indy Chidren's Museum. They have them at Learning Express stores and (possibly) Zany Brainy stores if you are at all interested. Since they are only 2 1/2, they aren't learning much advanced stuff with it. However, they use it while playing role-play situations with their plastic vegetables and they count the money. They don't understand the value of the nickel vs. the dollar, but they count it all as "1..2..3.." I don't know if it's "taught" them anything hugely valuable, but it's reinforced what Rich and I teach them on a daily basis. This is something G'ma bought because, after watching them roleplay at the museum unexpectedly, she decided they "needed" it...G'ma (a retired teacher) has a tendency to sway Mommy when there are new learning opportunities Anyway, I'll make a recommendation and you can toss it if it doesn't sound good. How about drawing your own money and credit cards and having them laminated. Then, you could simply use a small cardboard box and draw the keys with markers. A shoebox w/lid would also work great. I know it may be cheesy to some people, but we do a lot of homemade stuff like that. I think it really encourages their imagination and creativity plus saves money on things until you know if it's really something they'll enjoy. If it becomes a huge hit, you could say "Well it's already a hit, why change it?" or "Now that I know it's something that will get a lot of play time, I can invest in a sturdier one". Just thoughts.

I really like that idea Missy. Ordinarily I am on board for the homemade craft
projects and toys. The kids love them. But, I am strapped for ideas on Christmas gifts this year and that seems to be something that she really wants. Usually I would just buy the generic version that Walmart carries for about 10 dollars. But on birthdays and Christmas I like to try and accommodate a few of the special requests. I think if she ended up with a cash register other than the Barbie one there would be a hint of disappointment. What I may do is just go with something else altogether like the Mommys Little Patient doll and come up with a different cash register sometime after Christmas. ~Kimberly Mommy to Alexis Iliana 07/17/99 and Emma Elidia & Aislyn Gabriela 10/01/02 come see us... http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/aislynemma/ |
