LitTle GiRl
My faith again is restored in keeping my 7 year old a 7 year old.
In November Costco had sold a set these toys by Hasbro in a set of 5. The are called The Littlest Pets They are these funny looking bobble head animals. They each have a magnet on the bottom of the foot. They all come with something that when the magnet touches their feeding bowl the little lid pops up. You can even put them on your fridge or a chalk board. They are just cute. They have a wonderful website where you can name your animal and print out a birth certificate. The website has so many fun games and coloring pages.
So we started with this set from Costco and all of our cute neighbor girls got one too. The girls have just loved it. They play with them all the time. The each put a different color dot on the bottom of all their animals so at the end of the day they know whos is whos. (great idea given to me by my sister in law Melissa)
What I love about these toys. Is there is no skanky clothes they wear. they don't come with little mini cell phones or ipods, they have sweet little names, they are just pets!
I was losing faith that there were toys left for Ak to play with that she would just love, but these have fit the bill.
So I am at Target the other day and the isle is bare. I ask the friendly lady in the red shirt when are you getting more in. She tells me the demand for these of late have shot through the roof! The company can't make them fast enough.. Oh no, do you know what these words do to a Buchanan? We have some freaking collecting blood disorder (but ya'll will be happy to know that my dad has sold all of his skis!) So I am trying to control myself, usally when i hear the words hard to find, it makes me want it more. I did take a peek on ebay and of course they are selling for twice the price, business opportunity?? Anyway if you are looking for a great girls birthday gift check them out.

I understand the appeal of no skanky clothes, ipods, or cell phones, but cute isn't the word that comes to mind with those animals. Perhaps if I saw one in person and Whitney liked them they'd endear themselves to me, but for now they just look weird.

Apparently you are now the official source for what is cool. I have never seen these. When Eva is a little older I am sure I will asking you for more advice!
