Turner's Christmas Wish List

Well, if you ask Turner right now what he wants for Christmas, you probably won't be able to figure out what he's talking about. But since people are already asking Arthur and I for ideas on what to get him, we decided we would make a list for what we think he would like. And the easiest way to share this list with those interested is through the internet, so all of you can browse if you would like or skip over this if you're just waiting for the next set of cute pics to show up on here.

Turner's Christmas Wish List (As Mommy Sees It)

(My parents say I’m doing this just because I hate surprises and have always wanted to know what my Christmas presents were ahead of time, but if you get something for Turner, it would be great if you would let us know what you got, so we can make sure he doesn’t get duplicates of items.)

Bounce and Spin Pony (the most expensive item on the list, so I’ll put it first—this is the one that can connect to the TV to teach him letters/numbers/etc and is around $80)

Bat and Wobble Penguin (he loves to hit stuff and I think he’ll get a kick out of this coming back to him for another hit) (around $20)

Any Learn and Groove products, particularly the alphabet drum or the counting maracas (around $20 for most items) (Someone’s already taken care of getting Scout for him, so he doesn’t need the puppy anymore)

Since Arthur’s a photographer, I think it would be neat if Turner had one of the little play learning cameras (like Vtech’s Light up Learning Camera, or Fisher price’s Fun 2 Imagine Pocket Camera—not a real digital camera, just one that teaches something when you press the buttons—probably in the $10-20 range)

Turner’s about to outgrow his infant tub, so he’ll need more bath toys when he graduates to the big tub—for example, I really want the letters that are made to stick to the side of the tub. He’ll also need a container to put some bath toys in—such as the Boon Frog pod. ($5-35)

He loves to play with remote controls. I saw a toy one the other day that played songs and said letters/numbers that would probably be great for him to play with (instead of the one that goes to our TV). (around $10)

If he’s going to continue to get sick and have dry skin problems, then I guess we need to invest in a humidifier. We had looked at one before but had never gotten it because we had not needed it yet. The Crane humidifier that comes in different animal shapes is the one we liked best. They have penguins, and elephants, and all kinds of fun designs to choose from. Plus, it’s filter free so we don’t have to spend lots of money replacing filters every few weeks. (around $30 at Target)

We also need a new monitor. Ours has developed way too much interference. We have checked out the new Vtech Crystal Sounds DECT 6.0 and are interested in it. (only around $40 at WalMart)

Soon we will need safety products to childproof the house. For example, outlet covers, cabinet locks, drawer latches, etc. They even make toilet and TV locks now! ($2-30)

(I know some of these products are not necessarily for Turner’s enjoyment, but they are things that we could use that relate to him!!! You can give those as gifts to Arthur and I if you’d rather not put Turner’s name on them!!! )

If you interested in clothing, he’s still hanging in there for 18 month sizes right now. He’s really slowed down on the weight gain, so I’m hoping we’ll stay in this size at least through the cold months.

And of course, you are more than welcome to get anything that’s not on the list. I am all about any educational toy they make, and Turner can learn from and play with anything you give him. I was just trying to give people a few ideas of things I think he might be interested in at this time. I can’t wait to see how he reacts to everything that goes on during the holiday season as he celebrates his first Christmas!!
