I did add a car seat to my list. I have a practical, 4 door car, but my DH drives an Audi TT, which has a TINY backseat, the carseat will be ideal.

I also asked for a sandbox, life jacket (our family has a cottage on the lake) water wings, a picnic table, scooter, helmet, red wagon for park visits, and TONS of books. I love to read to children, and I want to have a wide selection on hand.

thanks again for the suggestions and advice and keep the ideas coming!
