Actually my kids haven't asked for anything yet this year. Strange??!! I got the Wii because DS is starting to play games on my computer, obviously bored with the Xbox. I figured if I got him a Wii it would keep him from cutting into my DIS time.
Doesnt it? but then I think... She is 3. Does she really need all that? Will it just get trashed in her room?? Do I really want to spend that much on her? I dnt know!!!

Have you guys seen that animated pony or dinosaur at Target and Costco? The horse blinks its eyes, pretends to eat a carrot and moves around. The dinosaur has a controller and it growls and walks and swishes it's tail.
Yep.. But she has TONS of babies.. more stuffed animals then I can shake a stick at.. a bunch of educational toys.. I just dont KNOW! I really want this to be a special Christmas... Its our first one just being the 4 of us... and our last just being the 4 of us. I dont know why I am stressing. I could give her a chocolate bar, and she would be thrilled.
When I was 5 I got He-man's castle and my sister got Skeletor's castle. We played with Transformers and these Robot toys and GI Joes. Yes, we were weird but we eventually started playing with Barbies when we we were 6 and up. I remember I got He-man with his tiger and my sister got Skeletor with his panther. I thought it was the most awesome toys ever.

Stuffing is goooodd Last year I walked by Williams Sonoma and they had a cooking class where they made their stuffing. It smelled soooo good and I was tempted to buy it.
LOL, cute Xmas tree and it's funny how she sticks her shades on the SHADE.
Notice the Tiara, she collects them! Her room is motocross heaven with touches of girly things in between. A rather unique room. She hates that lamp...I get free hotel samples, so we have lots of ugly lamps throughout our house. I never thought about the shades on the shade.
So I have a question for you, since you have a Wii. Our system says it comes with the remote controller, sports game and 3 current games (guess I won't know until I get it) . Other than the Wii fit, what else should I get??
But I get why it's special and you want something different for her.
Does she have a play kitchen? Cash register, shopping cart.. now is a good time to introduce that type of pretend play, beyond babies and dress up.
Skip the fakey food, keep a few of your boxes and cans - cleaned and taped . She can play store for hours. I love to have "real " things for kids to use.. they want to be like you , might as well give them the thngs that you use.. but in a safe manner.
oh, if you buy hte fake money for a cahs register.. get it laminated! lasts a lot longer, plus I only gave them a bit at a time. Less to pick up .
Or if you feel adventurous and don't mind the mess.. a paint easel, brushes, apron, etc.
