Most Favored Gift Status

Kiernan's favorite gift this Christmas--aside from the one YOU gave him, which is the gift he really loves to play with/wear/save for college the absolute mostest because YOU are so special to him--was this box filled with packing peanuts. Clearly the folks who picked this one out, his Grandaddy Jake and Omi Karen, knew what they were doing. They shipped it out from Colorado, protecting the little styrofoam peanuts inside by placing a bunch of wrapped presents inside among them. This kept the peanuts from overcrowding each other too much.

After the presents were removed, Wendy had the bright idea that if he loved the ball pit at school, he surely would love to be put in a box full of packing materials. She was right. He must have spent twenty minutes in that box just rooting around. Then he spent another ten or fifteen minutes climbing/diving out and immediately demanding to be put back in. It was quite a Christmas morning.

I predict shopping for him is going to be much easier next year.

Just today (1/11)checked for updates and happily I read the Christmas report. I'm all for the representative from each animal and will spread the word for his 2nd birthday. There's a 4 foot swinging trunk elephant I have in mind. Giraffes and hippos would also be fun things! thanks for the ideas! XO! M/S/G
