December 4, 2008: Holiday gift ideas for the boys

We seem to keep getting asked "so what do the boys want for the holidays?" (well, actually, the holiday part tends to be more specific but you get the idea) and so I think a gift list is a good idea. Here goes...
Important Unit Specifications
Child, boy, unit 1, is 42" tall, weighs about 40 pounds, and wears a size 10 shoe ("toddler" ten? it is the 10 that is actually pretty small). He has outgrown all of his size 4T clothes! He cannot get any clothes smaller than 5/5T. (Long sleeve shirts should probably be kid's "S" by now, as he will be able to wear those next year also.) His system name is QUIN.
Child, boy, unit 2, is 32" tall, weighs about 27 pounds, and is 21 months old. He still wears some 12mo clothes, but those are almost entirely too small. He fits real well into his 18mo clothes. But that is NOW. He must not get any clothes smaller than 24mo/2T. He wears a size 6 shoe. His system name is OLIVER.
Please, to prevent duplicate acquisition of Recreation and Assorted Activity Devices, consult with Adult Units 1 and 2 to confirm existing stock. (i.e. call Kim and Jeff to see if we have the thing already)

Potential Unit Recreation and Assorted Activity Devices
Unit 1
- Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars
- Books that may teach simple reading. Suggestion: Mo Willems' "Elephant and Piggie" series. (Actually, any Mo Willems book is great!) Suggetion 2: Any "David" books by David Shannon.
- Kid's board game(s). Trouble, Chute's and Ladders, Candyland, etc.
Unit 2
- Stuffed animals. Especially cute or unusual ones.
- Board books (that we don't already have, not that we even know what we have at this point)
- Big chunky safe-for-2-year-old cars. For example, the "Chubbies" by Vikingtoys [Viking Toys at Amazon]
