Fun & Games

Another fun thing we have been working on is the baby's first care package. I have been collecting things here and there and already had most of it packed in the shipping box 2 months ago. Yea...long before we even knew we had our girl. (Hey, I don't mess around!) Recently added a few more unique finds I wanted to share and a really great memory game for when the she comes home. It's called "Never Forget A Face" matching game and features pics of children's faces from all over the globe. Unfortunately, Thailand isn't on there, but other South East Asian countries are (Cambodia, Vietnam, and Myranmmar). It's a great, award winning development game and shows ethnic diversity. Love it!

Here are some of the items we will send to Thailand:

So far, the care package includes:

Baby Einstein soft photo album with teether that has pics of us and the house and animals in it.

Baby's First Winnie the Pooh reader in Thai/English (buythaibooks.com)

Little Red Hen and Little Red Riding Hood in Thai/English (buythaibooks.com)

Soft baby book that plays "Hush a Bye Baby" when pressed.

Lil' Silky mini blankie from Lilamonsters.com (so cute & we were told to sleep with it so it smells like us).

Pink pig development toy

Pink soft puppy that barks when you squeeze it (to get her used to how our dog sounds)

Brookstone Photo Ball. (This is GENIUS! Lightweight photo ball with no hard edges. It fits four pics and each photo has 15 seconds of recording so you can say hi from Mommy & Daddy and have pets meow and bark. Comes in silver or wood look. www.Brookstone.com)

Small Asian "Chloe" rag doll from Pottery Barn kids. They have a big version, too. We bought the big one for at home.

Whoozit bright developmental toy. Award winning toy from Manhatten Toy Company.

Disposable cameras for taking pics with a self addressed, stamped envelope.

Want to send gifts to the nannies too, but have no idea yet what to send. They better give us our referral soon before I have ten boxes! As it stands, I think I will break it up into 2 shipments. I don't know...do you think we are excited???
