Bday / Xmas gifts

Ideas for birthday and Christmas gifts for Eric:
- Before buying any Thomas trains or videos, check with me to make sure I haven't purchased them for him already.
- Peter Pan (Disney animated film)
- Wii (Eric might not be quite ready for most of the games for the Wii, but he certainly will be before this time next year).- Pretend And Play Doctor Set, $36.99, learningresources.com
- Costume stuff (though we'll be getting some costumes at the after-halloween sales). A scrub top or doctor jacket to go with the doctor set (above) would be fun.
- Swim lessons: An 8-week session at the Boys and Girls Club is $90. Signups for the winter session will start at the end of October/beginning of November and will probably go from Dec-Feb.
- Triple Roll Socks: Old Navy size 4-5T -- 8-12 pair in solid colors (blue, grey, tan, etc).

Ideas for Christmas Gifts for Kyle
- Snuggle Up Sleepy Ones (board book)
- A small stuffed animal that has parts Kyle can chew on. We're not asking Eric to give up Dino and would like something for Kyle that fills that same role. Not too much fuzzy things (like manes or whiskers) since they get stuck in little teeth. Also, velour texture, not fuzzy.


Ideas for us
- Amazon gift cards (for books, DVDs, etc)
- Baking sheets (2, with sides all around) that DON'T warp in the oven. I bought ones that said they wouldn't warp and they do within 10 mins. A restaurant supply place is probably the best bet for quality baking sheets.- iTunes gift card
- Other books in the Dinutopia series by James Gurney: First Flight, Journey to Chandara, The World Beneath. Possibly also The World of Dinosaurs, depending on if it's good for children.
- Money/gift certificates/amex gift cards towards a massage. $75 will get me one hour plus tip.
- WoW time
- Marie: laptop cooling pad -- goes under my laptop and helps cool it. With Cataclysm, I expect my laptop to run hotter than it does now.
- Greg: 

"Against the Gods," by Peter Bernstein;
