Orion got a ton of gifts for his birthday, despite my request on his party invitation that gifts were not necessary (you guys were too generous—seriously!). Here are just a few of my fave eco toys he received.
This one is from me. It’s just so cute I can barely stand it, and oh-so appropriate for where we live. It’s a Surfer Woodie with two magnetic surfboards that sit on top, and a magnetic family (including a baby and dog) that can ride inside—or on top, if he’s so inclined.
Melissa & Doug toys are always a hit. I love that they’re wooden, sturdy and have an educational aspect to them. Orion received a few of these, including:
this Stacking Train (thank you, Ana and Sophie!)
these Pattern Blocks (much appreciated, Joanna, Mike and Ethan!), and
this Magnetic Pretend Play Set (muchos gracias, Lauren and Hunter!)
He also received some wonderful books, gift certificates and more Matchbox cars and accessories. He’s truly one fortunate guy and it will be a top priority for me to teach him to understand exactly how blessed, lucky and loved he is.
