Brantley's 5th Birthday Wishlist

You guys.  In 15 days, I will have a five year old!  Five!  I'll save the sappy stuff for later, but for now, Brantley's birthday wishlist!


Zingo Sight Words - Brantley has enjoyed playing Zingo (the original version) since a very young age.  I can't think of a better way to start teaching sight words!

Dragons Love Tacos 2 - I will never understand the obsession people have with the first edition of this book (someone please fill me in!!!!), but Brantley loves it and I know he will love the sequel!  (Plus, I want to see how dumb it is!)

Eric Carle Mini Book Set - For some reason, Brantley was fascinated to know that Eric Carle has written a number of the books we own!  As a result, he loves grouping all of our Eric Carle books together and he especially loves reading them.  May as well add to our collection!

Batting Helmet - Apparently, baseball around here goes from fun to serious in no time!  Like, kids pretty much need to have a team by first grade or they get left in the dust.  Or so I've heard.  Anyway, Brantley's in his third season of t-ball and Craig thinks it would be fun to get him his own batting helmet.  You're in charge of this one, Daddy!

Melissa & Doug Smarty Pants Kindergarten Card Set - Brantley loves to learn and loves to impress us with his knowledge (mostly math).  Never to soon to start prepping him for school!

Doodle Activity Book - This book is full of doodling activities.  And we have a long drive to Florida coming just a day after his birthday.

Melissa & Doug See & Spell - Lately, I'm all about the "toys" that are educational.  Can you tell?  I actually bought this at Christmastime and I've been saving it ever since!  I'm just proud of myself for remembering!

Charlie Hustle KC Heart Tee - Time to upgrade to the next size!

Pogo Jumper - There was an old school pogo stick at daycare that Brantley just loved.  I'm sure this isn't anywhere near as cool as the vintage version, but it does have great reviews!

Any other ideas for a soon-to-be five year old?!

  6. Five hit me really hard. Like, I was a weepy mess a few days leading to Marcus' birthday.
    We have the original version of Zingo, and totally want to add the sight words to our game collection!
    We're also in need of Dragons Love Tacos 2 and a new CH shirt!
    I hope Brantley receives all these fun goodies!
