With Thanksgiving next week and Christmas just around the corner, I thought I'd go out today and do a little pre-Christmas shopping. Tom and I had already talked about how we wanted to handle Christmas for Jemma, and we decided we'd have 1 Santa gift and 3 gifts from us (baby Jesus got 3 presents). I have been debating getting Jemma a toy kitchen or some sort of standing toy she could play with since she is getting so mobile. I went to Target and Meijer and then to Toys 'R Us, and wow, I was overwhelmed with all the toys!! I just wandered around and stared at everything! There were so many things and I had no clue what half of them were. I didn't even know where to start looking!
There also seems to be a shortage of simple toys. Everything is sooo decorated and I could hardly find anything that didn't light up or make noise! I remember I had a Little Tikes kitchen with a fold out table, and it had a stove, fridge, and a sink. The kitchens I saw had sinks, microwaves, dishwashers, and one even had a laundry center! I was hoping I could just find a simple little kitchen...I think I might have to shop craigslist for a "vintage" kitchen!

You could also try Ikea(they even have a pretty simple kitchen online at http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/childrens_ikea/10401/ though I don't see a product page for it). :)
