We're considering getting Ryan some good old educational toys for Christmas. We've looked at a few things, discussed about a hundred ideas and haven't comitted to anything just yet.
Ryan has been begging for anthing that has wheels and resembles a truck. He wanted a truck when we were in Wal-Mart shopping the other day (I seriously almost live at this place). I told him Santa was coming soon and that he could help me write a note to him telling him what he wants. So a commercial came on for the Screaming Banshee and he looks at me and says, "Tell Santa want that." I say okay and kinda forget about it.
Then last night as we are on our way to bed he says, "Tell Santa want big fire truck and fire hat."
Let's just say Santa isn't so rich this year and Santa may end up getting him some sort of truck that he wants, but he has SO MANY trucks, cars and things with wheels that can be used as cars or trucks. So Adam and I came up with this idea of an educational toy. It's gone from one of those laptops that do ABCs and 123s to good old books.
Do you guys have educational toys your kids can't stop playing with? If so, let me know. I am in need of some good ideas here.
