so i’ve got christmas on the mind. we’re having our first christmas back here and really our first christmas, with tree, decor, cookies. traditions! family! exciting!

i’ve been wanting to get one big gift for elliott and i was thinking of getting him either a rocking horse, a tricycle, or a toy piano. when i brought this up to justin he laughed at me and said “well, if wes anderson was designing a kid’s room for one of his quirky hipster families i’m sure it would feature a vintage rocking horse, a vintage trike, and a vintage toy piano.” so harsh! (but so true.) he claims that kids don’t actually enjoy or play with any of those items. in fact i fondly remember playing with all of those items as a child, but maybe it’s true?

so everyone, would an 18-month old to a 2 year old enjoy and play with any of those items? and if not any good ideas? thanks!
