Who knows, maybe he'll grow up to be a great architect! :D Busy Bee, eh what did Barbie ever do to you for you to hate her so much?! Poor Megan can't even smell a Barbie :P Next time I buy for her birthday present, ok? :P Emily, I think that kiddy laptop is a great idea. I got one for Ryan too, it's just cute, not to mention it's educational. Seeing the kinds of toys kids have today, I'm sure we're all pretty deprived of the stuff they have now! Haha.

I don't classify toys as boyish or girlish.. my boy plays with everything, including kitchen set and plush toys... As long as he enjoys, I've no complaint.. I'm thinking of getting him a kiddy laptop or a set of Mega Blocks for his BD... I guess at his age, these stuffs should be appropriate for his learning.. :) I agree with you.. most of the time, I'm more excited than my boy when it comes to toys... haha! how weird! probably I was deprived of toys when I was young..

I really hate her, so I will not buy it for my girl too. Otherwise, I am happy to have my girl play with trucks and my boy play with masak masak.
