\"birthdayIf <\/i>you are one of those family & friends who’s thinking ahead toward gifts for Katherine’s birthday next month (she’ll be 4), this is your public service reminder that she has an Amazon wish list<\/a>, which is always available here via the “Earthly Desires (K)” off in the side bar. I’ve tried to keep it up to date …<\/p>\n

In broader categories, ballet\/dance and singing and art are favorites of hers, as well as playing games, puzzles, and make-believe stuff about families (particularly royal ones). Gardening, too. And cooking — she loves helping Mommy in the kitchen (Mommy having infinitely more talent, and patience, in that arena than Daddy). Fun things that practice language skills are also faboo.<\/p>\n

Current media faves are Kim Possible, the Justice League (and other DC heroes), Dora the Explorer, Angelina Ballerina, Roly Poly Olie, Max & Ruby, Barbie seems to be coming in vogue. Please<\/i>, no Sponge Bob or Jim Carrey stuff (for the sake of the parents, if not the children).<\/p>\n

And if you’re thinking clothes, nothing smaller than a 5, with 6 not far away. <\/p>\n

And if you’re not getting Katherine any gifts — that’s cool, too. Just thought I’d throw this info out here for those who are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
