Brooke's Christmas Wish List: UPDATED

I have been asked by quite a few people what Brooke needs/wants/would like for Christmas. Seeing as she is only 14.5 months old, there arent a whole lot of things she needs that mommy and daddy dont cover ;) As for her interests and likes, it is tough. Her attention span is shorter than anything I have ever seen. She likes something for a minute and then doesnt like it any more. But there are a few things she values: food, music, lights. Its tough to give a toddler food ... so I would go with something that is noisy and has flashing lights in general.

There are a few things that are always useful:

-CLOTHES (she is approaching the tail end of 18M size clothes and doesnt own a whole lot in the next size - 24M or 2T. She isnt there yet, so these clothes would be late winter and early spring)

-BOOKS (Brooke loves books. We cant have too many of them. She still needs the ones with hard pages, aka "board books", because in addition to reading them she also likes to eat them).

There are also a couple of toys that she has really enjoyed at her friends houses that she does not have at home.

PLAYSKOOL EXPLORE N’GROW BUSY BALL POPPER
LAUGH & LEARN LEARNING PHONE

SHAPE SORTER
Doesnt matter what kind, she is starting to like putting objects inside other objects, so we think she is ready for shape sorting ;) If you dont know what a shape sorter is, here are a few examples:


WOODEN NESTING BLOCKS
Melissa & Doug make nice ones, but there are others out there. Brooke has cardboard ones but she eats them and SITS ON THEM. They arent going to survive her rough handling. Brooke needs some made out of a better material so she cant destroy them (at least, not so fast)
