I have a little kid in my life now and I now have enough money to blow on "stuff"!
My dad was putting Hot Wheels in my hands the day I was born and I was “playing” with them by my first Christmas.
Does it come with C4 or anfo?
The Basset Hound my daughter had was anything but slow and lazy. He was 2, full of energy, and totally uncontrollable since he was pretty big. She finally gave him to a lady who had a female that she wanted to breed. Turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him since no one here could teach him a darn thing!
He was a very loveable big old lug though. lol
Rush’s newest book OR an ATM card with no limited amount.
Get him a US savings bond
Just be prepared to say CHEEZ a lot... :) My mom always gives the great grandkids 2 presents at xmas, one goes in the toy box there and the other, which makes noise, comes home... she is vindictive.. :)
The hot toy for a toddler girl will be a pony.
Yeah, why buy crappy, overpriced junk from China?
Buy a Chinese, at least they might be able to make noodles.
Did you lock 'em in a cage and watch?
Because our prospects are so bright.
The way this country is going, more than likely it’ll be a child’s doll of Vladimir Lenin.
“Sell it as the Junk Food Maker and it’ll sell”
LOL!
someone needs to build an automated machine that bakes several items, just add the ingredients and push a button.
I am sure our weight problems will end.
I made them circle the things they want in this years ToysRUs Wish Book.”
Enjoy this while they are small. My thirteen-year-old grandson does this with the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog - his very fav. Picked out three things: Voice Command Smartphone Watch - $300; golf cart Hovercraft for he and his dad to share - $58,000; and a motorized monocycle - $13,000. I need to remember to throw that catalog in the trash right after it arrives.
I am told that Furbies are all the rage with little gals ... but their parents tell me that the Furbies are psychotic, weird, confusing to the kids, and some kids even throw them out or bury them beneath piles of clothing in the closet! LOL! So perhaps you should *not* splurge on a Furby. ;o)
After my knee-jerk post about the Furbies (because I’m scared to death MY kids will ask for one! LOL!) I thought back to what they really reeeeeeeeally loved when they were 2 to 3. A few things stand out:
1) Blocks. Unpainted wooden ones are best since then you don’t have to keep them out of her mouth so much (worrying about what’s in the paint). My kids especially liked the ones with pillars and triangles and such. If you make your own, make double-sure the edges are really rounded.
2) My kids had a Leapfrog brand little schoolbus that sang all the letters of the alphabet and told what sounds the letters made. I thought they’d be bored to tears but they loved it! And learned all their letter sounds from it when they were only two.
3) The Mozart Magic Cube by Munchkin. At age six, my kids still play with this. It plays six different Mozart melodies, and a bunch of variations on the melodies, depending on which side of the cube you press. My kids danced to it, etc., and still love it. And it’s hard to go wrong with Mozart. :)
Have fun spoiling your little sweetie!
There are bread making machines which basically work like that, we had one and I think the bread came out OK, but they seem to have fallen out of favor. Ours is gone anyway. I don’t remember what happened to it, it was very large too which was not convenient. Really, the fun in making bread is in the kneading.
Good idea but they both like to spend money.
I forgot to add “each”!
