Find Me a Cuter Monkey...

This is a very cute, very soft, stuffed monkey from Pottery Barn Kids.  His name, as it turns out, is Marley.  He's the "full-size" version (they also sold a little "beany babies" sized one.  He still has his tag.  I thought my kids would love him so much that I bought two of him--one for each.  To prevent fighting over the cutest monkey ever.  They have found one monkey to be ample.  If he looks a little sad, it's only because he's been in the closet for the better part of a year.  Cheer him up.

Playmobil 123 Farm...

There are two kinds of people in this world: Playmobil People, and Everyone Else.  

My brother and his wife have three kids.  Playmobil People, all of them.  Their basement is full of the teeny-tiny little pieces of one million Playmobil sets.  All mixed together: hospitals and pirate ships and farms and castles and jungle safaris.  

It's not for me. 

This was a gift.  It's in great shape.  The box shows a little wear, but it still holds all the pieces together.  When I pulled it out to photograph it today, the horse was not in his stall.  I'll have to look around the house.  I can't *promise* him, but I'm pretty sure he'll turn up rather quickly.

One More Pair of Shoes...

These are Robeez Treadz.  Robeez is best known for their excellent quality leather soft-soles shoes.  For a limited time, they made these flexible rubber-soled shoes for toddlers, but quit making them (not sure why--they're great).  These are a toddler size 8.  They show some wear, but are in excellent condition, and they'll be sent in their original box.  We particularly liked that my son could put these on by himself when regular velcro shoes were still too difficult for him (and laces were--and are--out of the question).  He liked that they had fire trucks on them.

More Toddler Shoes...

My son wore these Keen Newport sandals a few times, but not more than five or so.  They have a tiny bit of dirt in the tread--if you ran them underwater, they'd look brand new.  They'll come in the original box.  We got them at REI.  Toddler Boys' Size 8.  They retail for around $50.  I'll sell them for $35.

My Toddlers Have More Shoes Than I Have...

My daughter was one month old last Christmas when she received, from her Great Aunt and Uncle, a pair of authentic UGG boots.  As one might imagine, they didn't fit her tiny little newborn foot, and this year they're too small.  

They are pink UGG "boo"s.  Size small (2-3).  Still in the box.  Never worn.  Retail for more than $50.  I'll sell these for $35.
