Also, they can't stop reading "Turn Left At Orion", and are itching to try out their new telescope.

snipsnsnailsx5 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 The Hex bugs and Zhu Zhu pets (Kung Zhu of course for the boys LOL) have been played with A LOT! My 3 yr old just loves his Toy Story flashlight. He also spends a lot of time in his Fisher Price Cozy Coupe police car. :) My almost 2 yr old just rotates around between everyone's toys. haha But he did carry the big Woody doll from Toy Story all around with him the first day.

jewellsmommy Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 scooters. just the simple ones like razors but hers is barbie and his is hot wheels. They have been on them (yes, in the house) constantly. We don't get snow often but had 12 inches dropped on us yesterday from the storm. So, we have allowed them a path in the house. They are both very active type children. He is ADHD. She is actually in a cast, so we told her no pogo stick (also new for Christmas) otherwise that would be her present of choice. BTW, the cast is because she broke her toe in half, after 3 weeks buddy taped and in a shoe type thing the bone did not heal. Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because she is a lunatic nut who doesn't listen to her mama and jumps around constantly like her tooshie is on fire. So the dr. had to cast her, up to the knee because of a toe! She has already broke a piece of the cast off and I caught her on the pogo stick twice before I finally hid it. The cast may have come off today, but the dr office is closed because of the foot of snow we got yesterday. So, dd is mad as a hornet as if I made it snow :glare:. Apparently, it is all one great conspiracy to keep her away from her pogo stick! sorry for the rant, I just couldn't contain it anymore!

MorganClassicalPrep Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Her Unicorn pillow pet that she has been wanting for... ever. She's been carrying it around, sleeping with it... Other than that, she's been rotating pretty well among her other toys. Everything has been played with, and I don't think anything is less well-loved than anything else. (Well, the only things that haven't been played with yet are the dollhouse furniture sets, but we're out of town with family and the dollhouse is back home!)

BlsdMama Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 We got CJ a Sansa for audio books. It was a hit. His grandma and grandpa got him the set of The Lightning Thief books, which he's read already and has finished the first book of the series again. :D Ana got books, and no, she hasn't put them down, but no surprise as she is never seen without one in her hand. Rebecca got art supplies... Same as Ana. The child is never seen w/o pencil in hand so this isn't much different. :P Liz is still waiting to spend her birthday gift. She was content with Christmas but there was nothing she DESPERATELY wanted except yarn and beads. As she wanted to pick them out herself, she got a gift card for her birthday on the 23rd. That's about it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well just about a month after we moved he started saying he wanted it back :glare: He asked Santa for it, and is pleased as punch to have it back. Plays with it non-stop!

Momma H Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 My kids got remote controlled cars and a remote controlled helicopter that have been going (and buzzing me) since Christmas. I see lots of Pillow pets there. We did that one 2 years ago and my daughter made her kitty one her lovey. She sleeps with it every night and drags it around everywhere. It says they are not washable but I have washed hers on delicate several times! I had to, she had a pacifier and drooled on it every night for the first year she had it. Sure, it is about an inch an a half thick now but she LOVES her kitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
