new "cool trick"
her new whip (whip= car)
I was pretty excited for today because I planned on doing some Christmas shopping for Presley Pres-er-tain. After spending several hours on the computer this morning trying to find Strawberry Shortcake and all her friends on ebay (why do I even open that portal of terror?) I headed to Kidstop, it's a specialty toy shop in Scottsdale.
I would love a cute lil' mom and pop toy store on Mill Ave but for now the Kidstop will do. It's much smaller then a Toys R' Us but the selection is a bit over whelming (for me). I went in there today knowing already what I wanted for Presley, Magnatiles, horse accessories and an Etch-a-sketch. Then I got there and went into a shopping shock of sorts. Wow, so much to choose from!
Then I walked out with less then expected and nothing from the list... I decided to grab a huge box of wooden blocks instead of the horse corral. Presley has such a better time creating corrals herself anyway. She does it a lot with her wooden alphabet blocks. Then I saw this really cool wooden car that she can take apart and mix with other cars (if she had more) and of course it's pink!
This is her first year really receiving any gifts (she requested) and to where she is expecting them. She's only asked for lil' pet shop animals (got those Thanksgiving weekend) and a Strawberry Shortcake doll (please come through ebay). My parents gave her a mini Etch-a-sketch last weekend so I decided I didn't "need" to get the other.
It's just so hard to not get carried away with the gifts at this time of year. I'm still debating the Magnatiles and considering putting paint and paint brushes on the list again this year. The good news is her birthday is only a few months after the new year!
After my afternoon of shopping we went to the park where I played with my new camera and she showed me her new "cool trick". She's just so cute it's hard to not give her everything!
