Dear Santa

I really hope this isn't tacky. But some family members have started asking what Lil might like/need for Christmas and/or her birthday--thought I'd share the information in one central location.

She is REALLY into art-type things. Crayons, colored pencils, a kid-friendly sketchbook, fingerpainting supplies, a big roll of paper--she would adore all these types of things.

She also loves music, and is still talking about a toy guitar one of her playgroup-mates had.

She's really curious about letters. Maybe letter-shaped bath toys, or a cool alphabet book?

She also once had a CD of ocean waves, but it got scratched and now it skips. She could use some other going to bed music/white noise options.

She also needs mittens, hats, and warm socks. Because those suckers always go missing, I don't think she could have too many of them.

And in general, she's fascinated by helicopters, seals, leaves, and boats.

Thanks for listening, Santa.

Here's a fairly recent picture of her from the playground, just for giggles:
