TheLittleGuy’s Wishlist

A few people have been asking, so I figured I’d write up a little post for those interested in TheLittleGuy’s wishlist and possible holiday gifties for him. First, a few particulars on clothing and toy preferences:

• We are buying him size 2T pants/bottoms and 3T tops. The 3T tops are a little big on him, but he has a long body so many 2T shirts are too short. We try to get 100% cotton stuff as much as possible (with the exception of occasional fleece.)
• We are also endeavoring to avoid media tie-in and character-focused toys as much as possible for now. We figure there’ll be time enough for that later without early and ever-present indoctrination. So far I think only Elmo has managed to infiltrate. And maybe a little bit of Winnie-the-Poo.
• We have created an Amazon wishlist for him and I’ve put a whole bunch of things on it (including things from other stores using the Universal Wishlist feature). But nobody should feel constrained by that. We’ve never had an 18-month-old before (he’ll be 18 months at Christmas) and we’re sure that there are things that would be great for him but that we’ve just never come across or heard of. And, while I know this will come back to bite me later, I still say you can never have too many plush toys or too many balls or too many blocks.

Speaking of TheLittleGuy, here’s a pic from this week:

No, I have no shame. Don’t you want to just buy him a whole pile of stuff?!?!
