Jacob's Christmas Wish List
Isaac's list was pretty easy to make up. I mean, The Boy, he has opinions and vocalizes them regularly. He is well versed in the language of Toys and Presents and will surely enjoy his first cognizant Christmas this year, perhaps more so than he will enjoy his first cognizant Halloween.
But now for my darling blue-eyed fat baby. What on earth do you get for the boy whose older brother has everything? Obviously Jacob doesn't lack for activity around here. And he seriously hates baby toys. He only plays with things that he has at some point in time observed being handled in a purposeful way by the other occupants of the house (i.e., cars, Buzz Lightyear, empty Coke bottles, junk mail). As far as toys go, then, I can only suggest that he will enjoy things that could possibly attract Big Brother's attention also. That should make for a fun time of present-opening.
He could always use clothes, since his hand-me-down wardrobe from this age is a little sparse; we had to toss a lot from Isaac's blueberry period. Also, his room could do with a little spiffying up. The kid has no toybox nor bookcase nor shelves. Anyway, suggestions follow, and, as with Isaac's list, will be updated as I have time and energy and new ideas. I am particularly interested in receiving comments on poor Jacob's list from those who have better ideas than me.
Clothes sized 12 mo or 12-18 mo, especially sturdy pants/jeans and long-sleeved shirts
A chair or small table/chair combo
A small toybox or bookshelf/toybox combo
-or for both, an IKEA gift card! How portable and useful!
Books of his own!
A walker, such as
Chomp and Clack Alligator Push Toy
Fisher-Price Stride to Ride Walker
Playskool Step Start Walk n Ride
Neat Toys I've Seen
Peek-a-boo Barn
Roll-Arounds Drop-n-Roll Dinosaur
Fisher-Price Learning Home

Yes, we still have it, but it is trashed. It's an outdoor toy now, and all the cool compartments/doodads are covered in gunk. Isaac loved it, though, when he was Jake's age -- I'm sure Jacob would love one, too!
