[blparent] Gift Ideas

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

It took Sarah a little while to care about the hammer that came with the 
toy, but she loves the balls.  The caterpillar is really cute, too, and I 
like shopping on the site because it is very accessible, and there are nice 
descriptions of the toys.

>> Good luck!
