Lucas’s Christmas Wish List for Santa
A little more than a week ago, Lucas and I made a list of the things he’d like to have for Christmas. I didn’t help him with these ideas. He came up with these things all by himself. [NOTE: This is posted here for posterity’s sake, not as a bid for presents from readers.]
* Real child-size tools (to use when working with Daddy—not to play with)
* Two-wheeled bike with training wheels (Is he really big enough for this? How he’s grown!)
* Badge maker (something he saw in a catalog; makes buttons)
* Stamps/ink pad
* Train mechanic’s suit (for working on Thomas the Tank Engine at the Island of Sodor)
* Big chest of dress-up costumes (from a catalog; comes with race car driver, astronaught, cop, and firefighter costumes and accessories)
* Dolly crib/cradle
* Wooden Thomas trains (recycling cars, gold prospector cars)
* Metal Thomas train
* Space puzzle (around 60-100 pieces, rated for 4- to 6-year-olds)

Many of these items made it onto the wish list that I gave to his grandparents. Santa Claus will be bringing the bike to our house early, early Christmas morning. Shhh. Don’t tell.

actually….
do you have a particular bit of line art that would be especially significant to lucas, and/or pics of you three that could be converted to same?
I’ve been having fun with the laser cutter at techshop, and have some rubber I bought for stampmaking tests, and, well….
If it worked, I could bring with Shannon and I on the 25th (yes, it looks like we will be in Sac this year)

Well, gosh … Um, he is a huge steam train fan. We’re talking obsession. I wouldn’t know how to turn a photo into line art.

Cool. The laser cutter manufacturer actually supplies a train as “see what we can do – aren’t we nifty?” clip art..;)

Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier.
