Literally – for the little girl.

Sophia was overwhelmed with all the gifts she received last Christmas. Needless to say, she got PLENTY. Here are SOME I got to take photos of. Some, I was just too tired to as she opened the gifts on several days. Ang dami naman kasi so I made her open some even before Christmas Eve.

Anyway, here are the ones from Santa, Papa Jesus, Mommy and Daddy aside from this one.

(dollhouse – the best I could find here, cash register toy and 2 in1 desk and board with art stuff)

And here are those from family and friends.

(Nintendo DS Lite, Baby Alive, Ponyville Teapot Palace, LeapFrog Word Whammer, Polly Pocket in a Bus, Zip Bin Fairy Castle, Tickle Me Elmo, Big Cinderella Doll, Medical Trolley and books)

Now, her playroom needs an overhaul. Yaya already started sorting the toys yesterday and so far so good. The rubber stamps I have been looking for ages now that made me turn our house upside down were found in her heaps of toys would you believe? Hay naku, kaya naman pala I can’t find them.

Anyway, I’m hoping to have a garage sale to discard other toys and send some to charity too. What a good way to start the year 2009, right?

I just finished blog hopping and seeing my fellow bloggers’ online shopping loot for their little ones made me want to shop too.

Actually, sometime last week, I already was planning on ordering stuff online for the little girl which includes these …

…but I stopped myself as I was thinking of just getting similar toys here. But the savings I’ll get is just too tempting if I order online so I might go ahead and order the toys above. The little girl is requesting for a doll house though so I might get that one at the mall as its quite big and bulky so I have no choice. What kind and which doll house, I have yet to find out as I will let the little girl choose when we go to the toy store soon. I hope not the big ones though like these below as they would cost a fortune from where I am from.

These types and size would do, but as I checked in the mall, still a bit expensive.

A friend by the way is selling Crayola products from the US and I might get some too for the little girl since she loves painting and stuff. Here, look what I might get as they are such a steal! If you are interested, you can email your order at (bingdejesus@yahoo.com).

This is Sophia’s current favorite right now.  She brings it everywhere she goes and because of it, I get quiet time in the car, no endless questions for a short while.  Thanks to my SIL for purchasing it and to Jojo for bringing it home.

After seeing celebrity kids like Suri, Violet and Shiloh tote their Correlle baby dolls as shown here, I can’t help but want to get one for my little girl too. It’s the closest she’ll probably ever get to having celebrity status, HAHA. Seriously, ain’t they just the cutest? Sophia loves playing pretend too and I’m sure she’ll love to own one of these almost-for-real-dolls. I hope to find such in Hongkong next month.

I’m also planning to get Sophia these toys if available in Toys R Us HK:

V.Smile TV Learning System Pink

Barbie and Pup Styling Head

Bubble Mower XLT

LeapFrog Leapster Learning System: Metallic Pink/Purple (Rectangular)

Disney Princess Enchanted Tales Karaoke Machine
