In thinking about Evan’s Christmas wishlist this year, there’s no doubt he would want more Spiderman paraphernalia. But the relationship is love-hate. He loves his Spiderman books, costume, poster, movies, cartoons, underwear, PJs, lunchbox, etc. and he’s scared to death of them. Recently he’s been having nightmares and begging me to take every Spiderman thing out of his bedroom before he goes to sleep. He makes me promise to give them to Josiah (a fellow-Spiderman fan). So I’m putting my foot down and not allowing him to watch anything remotely scary from now on. No more Star Wars, Superman, Batman, Spiderman...even Thumb Wars and Bat Thumb (spoofs where all the actors are thumbs—watch it at —it’s hysterical).
I really want him to have more enriching, wholesome, educational toys (ones without monsters and villains). In my search for such toys, I discovered my new favorite website: http://www.giggle.com/ I really like their products, the way it’s organized, and their “giggle product criteria.” Evan’s Wishlist
