Ideas

So, this was supposed to go in an email to Ally, Sam and Mom.... but my email keeps messing up tonight and is really frustrating me.

Anyway, I know Ally asked a couple weeks ago for gift ideas for Owen... and I don't think I ever responded. Sorry!

Owen obviously still loves Thomas and everything having to do with Thomas. But check with me before any Thomas purchases because we have a huge collection of trains and dvd's so it might be tricky to find one he doesn't have. He's going through a funky clothing period so as much as he thinks he would like Thomas clothes, it's probably not a good idea. Thomas pj's would rock (size 5T or big boy size 4/5) since he loves all pj's.

He loves books and is working on those Step 2 books. He pretty much reads everything he can get his hands on these days.

Clothes are a hard thing... he wears a size 5T or big boy size 4/5. He loves plain white shirts so give him a box with a bunch of plain white shirts and he'll be a happy man. LOL! He won't wear jeans/khakis, only sweat pants and jogging pants. He will wear pretty much any pj's.

He's also starting to get into Playmobil. These are actually really fun looking too so Jason and I are excited. Finally... something other than trains! LOL! He's been big into castles lately (a bookstore we go to has one that the kids can play with... he loves it!) so we're thinking about getting him the castle (the take along one) for Christmas. Any of the accessories to that would be great (I will say though that we are a weapon/violence free house. Which means that all the pieces that come with a weapon will promptly have the weapon taken away.... which is fine with me because he can play with the little people all he wants to.... without any weapons ;) That's actually one reason why we chose Playmobil... all the weapons are removable). There's also lots of other cool sets. I've seen the circus and the dino ones at Toys R Us but I've not seen any of the other ones in person yet. Any of the Playmobil ones would be cool though. (I do ask that if anyone does get him Playmobil stuff they let me know so we don't get it too!)

I think we are getting him the Advent Calendar and/or the Nativity Manger. Both look pretty cool. He has a Little People Nativity Manger but I think he's outgrowing that one, sadly.

Psst.... mom... we need Alexis and Noah ideas ;)
