I'll tell you what she wants, what she really, really wants



In case you didn't know, quite soon my redhead turns 5! That's right folks, it's been that long. And even though she's been compiling an ever changing list for quite some time, only Mommy and Daddy really know about it. She's an active kid so the things she usually wants, are things that keep her busy, and mostly only craft-type kits like Play-doh, Bendaroos, extra Pixos, the Pixos 3D set, Chixos (which just came out), Paperoni (also a new item), Zubber, and some sort of bear factory toy that makes miniature stuffed animals.

She's still into science, fell in love with the little Legos during her Kindergarten stampede, and doesn't have a scooter, but would want a princess one. She's still madly in love with board games and really wants the Curious George beach one at Target, the Spongebob version of Operation, and one of the Littlest Petshop board games.

In fact, she's crazy about anything Littlest Petshop, which she affectionately refers to as "Little Best Petshop," but she's going to be getting a TON of the little animals for her birthday already, and likes the VIP Pals which are stuffed animal versions that you use on the computer like a Webkin, something else she's requesting, and something else she does not have.

And the thing she wants most right now is Fancy Nancy, a doll, which is shocking to us as well, and although my heart has yearned for quite some time to buy this doll for her, I was under the impression she felt nothing for such a doll and she has since started wanting it after we bought her presents. Anything Fancy Nancy, including the books is welcomed since we have none of it yet and she looks just like her, except the eyes (Fancy Nancy's are green, Bailey's have always been blue).

That's about the only doll she's shown an interest in, but does love absolutely anything Tinkerbell, and any and all stuffed animals, just don't tell her father I told you that. He's been wanting to kill off her collection since the beginning of time. She doesn't need any clothing, but I can't tell you not to buy it, just that she has more than she possibly needs after I hit one too many Gymboree sales (yes, I realize I'm addicted).

She still loves her Leapster and doesn't have Creature Create, Mr. Pencil, any Dora games, just to name a few and the ones she's shown an interest in. We also recently purchased a Wii, so Wii games would be fine, particularly the ones that keep kids active. I also have a suspicion she may soon have a use for SmartCycle games, except the Barbie one. Those are just my suggestions and I'm sure she'll appreciate anything she receives because she's just that great of a kid!
