Wish list

Every few weeks, an unavoidable ratio crops up in my mind: it seems the "things we need/want" list just keeps growing, as the little one keeps growing. So, for posterity, I'm posting it as a reminder to myself!

1. Suction bowls - It would be remarkable to have borne a world-class frisbee champ, but I won't see the fruits of that for years...Plenty of time to work on this skill.

2. Bookends - there are too many books in Isla's room to speak of, or read. This definitely isn't a problem but it's becoming a little cumbersome to lean books against the wall with only a fragile lamp to hold them from a tumble onto my foot (or Isla's!).

3. Ballerina Jewelry box - you know, like the one we alllll had when we were little? Although Pottery Barn Kids now sells much-higher-class ones that I would love to have for Isla. Too bad if she gets one, she can't play with it until she's 20. Kind of like her new tea set :)

4. Zip 'n Go Blanket - Never stopped to realize that even though it's mid-June, it's still rainy season and even though the grass looks dry, it's never a good plan to go to the park in white clamdigger pants...

5. Baby gates - MUST HAVE. Will need to go to store soon. Risk of impending falls from fun stair-climbing imminent.

6. Jogging Stroller (Instep Swivel Wheel) - Now that I have some routes planned out on www.walkjogrun.com, I'd love to have one of these. www.Craigslist.com is a-calling.

The list is sure to grow longer, for now I just need to get my mom-nesia in check and my purchasing priorities!! Secret-admirer cash gifts or Amazon credit always welcome :)
