All of these books are Thomas’s favorites: Good Night, Gorilla: this gigantic board book is our second copy of this book. The other one, with real paper instead of cardboard, did not remain in one piece. Lull-a-bye Little One: We’ve read this one so many times, Thomas repeats a lot of it with me! Goodnight Moon:… read more »
Puddle Jumper BUY: Amazon Price: $25.08-$34.75 A must-have if you’re heading to the swimming pool with a 2 year old. Here’s why: It’s a lifejacket with water wings: so it’s comfortable for the child and it keeps their head above water. It’s Coast Guard Approved, so it’s actually a life jacket. That makes… read more »
Say Howdy! to Howdy the Bouncy Cow. Isn’t this thing adorable? Not only is it a little mod and a great playroom accessory, Thomas really loves it. It’s made by Trumpette, the company that makes the awesome socks that look like shoes, and is one of his favorite toys. This makes a great gift for a… read more »
Fisher-Price Bubble Mower on Amazon > BUY: Amazon Price: $15.99 There it was – a shining beacon in the middle of the aisle as soon as I walked into Toys R Us. I didn’t even know such a thing existed. But they do: a mower that spouts out bubbles when pushed. Our… read more »
Sidewalk chalk. It’s Thomas’s new passion, and this avant garde artist uses the world as his canvas. That’s not a metaphor.

This Christmas, we decided to get Thomas a train set since he loves the one at Barnes & Noble so much and he’ll be able to play with it for years. So I started doing research online of course, and picked out a few that looked like the best: City Central Train Table by Imaginarium Kidcraft… read more »
Baby Einstein Alphabooks proved today that Thomas is indeed a baby Einstein. These books are great – each one has a letter on the front with words in it that begin with that letter. He looked at B and said B. I am NOT EVEN JOKING! And then, jut to be sure, later I asked… read more »
Thomas loves playing with his blocks… He loves to stack them. And one of the questions in our 18th month check up from the doctor was “can he stack 4 or more blocks?” which I was confidently able to answer “yes.”. He loves to stack them, and then he backs up and claps when he… read more »
Our 18 month old LOVES Elmo. He is fascinated with him. And the La La La La La La La La Elmo’s World gets stuck in my head all day long. We watch Elmo’s World – Wake up with Elmo! a lot. So I was very excited to get the deluxe Gund Sesame Street Plush Elmo… read more »
