Kids' Gift Ideas

Some of you have asked for Christmas ideas for the kids... please don't feel obligated to get them anything. But if you're wanting to shop for them, here's their sizes & a few ideas:

Nathan's Sizes:
* Shirts - 5 or 5T
* Pants - 4T
* Underwear - boys 6
* Socks - 4T
* Shoes - he's growing into toddler size 12 (he has 12 sneakers and is getting cowboy boots from us)
* PJs - 5 or 5T unless its a tight fitting PJ set, then get 6's.

Faith's Sizes:
* Shirts - 4T
* Pants - 3T or 4T (depends on the length...)
* Dresses - 4T
* Underwear - 3T-4T (she hasn't started potty training yet, but is getting very close!)
* Socks - 3T-4T
* Shoes - toddler 8 (but she has more shoes than she knows what to do with - and plenty to grow into, too)
* PJs - 4T (5T if it's a tight fitting PJ set (those kind usually come in a box)

Gift Ideas for Nathan:
We're getting him cowboy boots and some "real" tools to use with Daddy among some other things. But here's ideas I know he'd love that we can't get this year:
* A real basketball, in kid-size
* DVD of Cars or Cars 2. He loves the characters, but hasn't seen the movies - he'd love them.
* Wii games (preferably an active one, the only one we have is Sports Resort)
* Trains - any kind, not just Thomas characters... If you get any for his train table, be sure they're wooden so they fit his tracks.
* Books

Gift Ideas for Faith:
We're building her a kitchen set, and have some pots & pans for it, too. Here's some other ideas for her:
* Disney princess movies, she doesn't have any and loves the characters - but doesn't know their stories. (Please avoid Princess & the Frog - it's overly anti-christian, from what I hear)
* dressup jewelry and/or hair accessories
* Anything with Dora
* Anything with horses, some plastic toy horses would be fun
* Play food (preferably wood, so it lasts longer), or an apron & oven mits that are her size
* Doll baby accessories. She has a stroller & cradle, but nothing else. She will love acting out what she sees with Mommy caring for her new baby sister soon.
* Books
* Sidewalk chalk & bubble stuff is always a hit with her, too!

Gift Ideas for Baby:
* short sleeve 6 month clothes - most of Faith's old clothes will fit seasonally, except possibly 3-6 months (Faith was in long sleeves when she was that size... and come march, it'll be summer-like again here, and I suspect baby will be in 6 month clothing by march), I've been collecting some clothes here and there, so we really don't need much.
* baby bouncer seat (it's about the only baby equipment we sold before we moved and haven't replaced)
* diapers are always welcome, too ;-)
