merrik has been pouring over every toy catalog that enters the house. of course he wants one or more items on each page but he says, “I want that for my birthday, I want that for my birthday, I want that for my birthday” I assume because he doesn’t remember christmas.
anyway, his top picks so far are a toy vacuum and cleaning cart, a red drum set, a ride on train with signal, a shopping cart and a green trash truck. when I ask him what he wants for christmas he says “a blue christmas tree with blue lights” (he LOVES blue), “a dinosaur dumptruck” and “I really want an Oswald toy.” Well, wouldn’t you know that my son’s favorite show has no merchandising whatsoever. So, the only Oswald “toy” that exists is a rare $350 stuffed Oswald the blue octopus by Gund on eBay.
