Hi Bethany,I've been blog-stalking your blog for a while and I have to say that I'm completely impressed with Jaxon's geographical abilities. I'm totally feeling the same way about the educational toys for Hunter lately. I did a bunch of research on plastics a little while ago and I ended up putting a bunch of plasticky, noisy, and un-creative toys on a big lot and craigslist and have now opted for simpler toys that inspire imagination, knowledge, and creativity. We always have grandparents inquiring as to what to get the kids for christmas and birthdays, so to go along with this new toy movement I put a bunch of toys I liked on “The Things I Want”.com . Check it out if you want and let me know if you have any ideas. http://www.thethingsiwant.com/pencefamily

I suggest love dice or maybe a sex boardgame or even a sexy secret santa outfit. But if you want to give her a toy a massage vibrator, it's not really about the size but on how much and how hard it could vibrate. Brands that are mainly and mostly recommended and popular are: Touch, Conair Massage

Wow, it looks like you've done everything correctly. How about building a higher fence? Or keep the doggy door closed while you are at work.

Discovery Toys are awesome! It's better to order them from an individual than from the company headquarters. That way you have a person to communicate with directly. Here's a good link to use:

Click "Shop Products" in the upper right part of the page.

It sounds like fun, but don't stress out too much on how to set it up because in the end the dress up will be in the grocery store, the dolls in the construction site and the microphone lost the the book nook.
