The Kid’s Wish List

The Jukebox

Aidan likes his music! Here is a small list of CDs that we would like to get for him. Sometimes things are available on iTunes. If you’re going to gift it via iTunes, I recommend emailing an iTunes gift card to Patrick or I with the name of the album or songs you want to gift. We have never been able to access songs that were purchased and gifted to us.
I have only included Amazon links, no iTunes links.

“For the Kids” by Various Artists. A percent of the proceeds go to VH1’s Save The Music Foundation.
“For the Kids, Too” by Various Artists. A percent of the proceeds go to VH1’s Save The Music Foundation.

On The Tube

We don’t have cable or satellite (as we chose not to get it) so Aidan will not get to see any kids shows unless we get DVDs. He’s watched some Sesame Street with Kiira and really likes the music (he loves music) and the kids. A lot of this won’t really hold his attention until he’s a bit older but we’re looking to start getting things now.

What we’re currently looking to get him:
Sesame Street DVDs (we’ll list specifics when we get them)
Sesame Street - Old School, Vol. 1 (1969-1974)
Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days
The Wonder Pets
“Here Come The ABCs” by They Might Be Giants. It’s a CD/DVD combo
“Here Comes Science” by They Might Be Giants. It’s a CD/DVD combo
“Here Come The 123s” by They Might Be Giants. It’s a CD/DVD combo

The Library

I have come to realize that most of the children’s books that I like are not quite suitable for bed time. I think what Colleen was trying to say was that I get loud and active when I read them - fun, but not soothing. So please feel free to recommend books to us.

The Retro Baby: Spiderman onesie, Batman onesie , All for one onesie
Pretty much any of the baby boy Junk Food T’s (can be found at Baby Gap amongst other places)
Our winters are mild here, it doesn’t get nearly as cold as Kuwait. Winter clothes for Aidan
would be long pants, long sleeved shirts, jersey material zip jackets, cotton sweaters, etc.
Nothing too heavy.

Aidan is now wearing size 12-18 months

The Toy Box

Honestly, I have no idea what might be a good toy for a baby. I can think of baby toys that would be pretty or that Patrick would play with, but nothing for a baby that pretty much sleeps and eats for two months. So again, feel free to make recommendations or just get it.
