Ace's Birthday Wish List

Because there have been so many people asking me WHAT SHOULD THEY BUY FOR ACE'S Birthday, I have decided to post Ace's birthday wish list.. if you are buying a particular item, just mention in the comments section.. hahhaah if not.. dun buy.. just come and visit him and play with him more also is a very good birthday present ;)

FYI, I will not be holding a huge party for him.. just a small celebration at home since I think he probably will not be able to appreciate all the hoo ha...

Anywayz, I got this list from the internet and added in other lthinkgs based on the questions I have been asked...

Large building bricks: These light cardboard bricks are big enough to stack up into a fort or wall, or any other way your toddler wants. But the most satisfying part of the process continues to be the finale — when the walls come tumbling down.
Note: Actually he already has 6 of those plastic bricks.. but I guess a set of wooden one tat he can use to build things and topple or destroy will be nice...

Push and pull toys: Heavily weighted push toys can give your beginner something to lean into as she motors around your home. Wagons can be ideal. Pull toys are for slightly advanced walkers who can look behind them as they move forward. Give them something to look at: Pull toys that flap, bobble, squeak, or in any other way make a scene are favorites. To find out more about walking and your toddler, click here.
Note: This one quite expensive.. but well, if anyone got lobang to get it cheap/second hand or someone wants to donate to Ace a second hand one.. i will be more than happy to accept it:)

Sorting and nesting toys: Toddlers love to sort, stack, unsort, unstack, and basically reorganize their lives. Sorting and nesting toys are great fun for those who are trying out their early problem-solving skills.
Note: This one he already has one set of sorting cups.. but he doenst like to stack or sort them.. he just likes to destroy them after I HAVE STACKED them up.. hahahah

Climbing gym: A tiny gym can give your toddler a safe place to climb, hide, slide, and practice all her emerging motor skills — over and over again. But these sets can also be pricey and are quickly outgrown.
Note: Wah.. no need so kua zhang lah... my house also no place to let him hide and slide.. go downstairs the playground can liao mah...

Balls: Any ball that's easy to grasp will be a hit with this group — underinflated beach balls, vinyl balls, cloth balls. Stay away from foam balls that could end up as a mouthful. This is the age at which you can introduce your child to "catch." Start slowly — she'll begin to get the back-and-forth rhythm with some practice.
Note: I have one plastic pink one tat squeeks.. dun mind some other balls as well..

Washable crayons and paper: Let the scribbling begin! Hand your toddler no more than a couple of crayons at a time — you don't want to overwhelm her — and tape the paper to the floor so she can make her mark without dragging the paper along with her.
Note: Hmm... okie.. this one I will try soon.. Crayons, anyone?? :P

Ride-on vehicles: This mode of self-locomotion may be even more popular than walking. Many small ride-on toys have models with handles for an adult to push when the child gets tired. Avoid the electronic versions — they're expensive and take away from the fun of getting around under your own power.
Note: Yes, electric makes my life very difficult as well.. as busy as I already am, really dun wish to run after ace to chase after is motor bike or wat... I think there are many on the market tat double up as push toys as well..

Tool bench or toy kitchen: Junior fix-it kids or aspiring chefs will get hours of play out of plastic or wooden models scaled to their size. Sets like these give a child a chance to emulate the things he sees adults doing, and they'll continue to hold his interest for several months as his play gets more sophisticated.
Note: Gee, i dun really cook.. so I am not so sure if the toy kitchen will help.. hahahaha.. but well, I guess when he grows older, he would appreicate it.. i loved to play with such toys when i was younger...

Picture books: Your toddler will enjoy more advanced picture books showing familiar objects and activities. She may also start to take pride in her own library and the chance to pick out a favorite for you to read. For more ideas, see our recommended books for toddlers.
Note: MEgan Gan ma says she will buy educatoinal books.. actually, ace has alot of picture books and flashcards already.. i think story books are what he dun have.. he only has two books so far.. which I got tired of reading to him.. but he still loves.. hahahaha...

Shoes: Well, waipo heard tat she is suppose to get him shoes.. i will leave this one to her... anywayz, at this age, they dun need many shoes.. cos he cant really walk very well and wun be walking outside anywayz.. so you dun have to think about this..

Clothes: Well, ace actually has l0ts and lots and lots and lots of clothes at home and hasnt finished wearing all of them yet. So it is not really a need...

PS: Ace has already recieved his FIRST PRESENT from Gwen Ah Yee... it is a Barney steering wheel... quite fun.. i think I had more fun with it than him.. muahahahahahha... cos he doesnt know how to press all the buttons yet.. but leh.. he quite enjoyed it.. it kept him entertained for 30 min yday ;) hee hee....
