1. Paints*
2. Doggz (A GameBoy Game)
3. A Pet Care Center*
4. Tube Traxx
5. Gum Ball Crane*
6. Wiggle Writer*
7. Leap Pad Games*
8. Painting Stencils*
9. Crinkle-Cut Scissors*
10. Design-your-own Dinos*
11. New ski hat, gloves, and scarf**
12. New Pajamas**
13. New Kid’s Praise CD**
*The things “Santa” already bought for him.
**He did not ask for these things, Mommy just thought he needed them. (Oh, and there is a song on the CD that he loves. They sang it when he was at Vacation Bible School, and asked me about it during the summer. I think he forgot about it, so it is going to be fun to give it to him.)
His daddy also bought him a few things that will surprise Brendan.
Next week….my list! 
Sounds like he’s going to be one happy boy at christmas
Warmth welcome to my Crack Me Up Party on Friday 15 dec! Prepare some joke or some fun to bring and to have FUN
Tell everybody to come!
Read more at my blog…
I’m sure his list runs much longer than only 13 items. I’m pretty sure when I was his age my list went on and one and on.

aww Santa is being so good to Brendan
He’s lucky!! Santa is buying him a lot of his wishes..
Lucky boy. I’m a nursery teacher/manager and crinkle-cut scissors just always have this amazing awe-and-wonder “look what I did” factor!
My 13th TT is up :o)

Happy T13.

Mrs. Lifecruiser: He will be happy. Hopefully, he will be thankful too. I am trying to teach him that trait.
Jay: It is longer than 13, but mine is even longer than that! Haha!
Chelle: Yep, he is a lucky little boy!
Suki: I cannot wait to see his face when he opens them too! That’s the best thing about being a mom.
Laquet: He is going to love those scissors!
Caylynn: He’ll be happy, but I think I will be happier when I see his reaction to all of them.
What about Tube Traxx??? You know, I’m the one interested most in that present!
Is he going to get it?

It’s helpful when you call the Game Boy game “Dogz” as opposed to “Doggz”
And those Tube Traxx are kinda confusing. There are numerous manufacturers of this “class” of products. Some are pretty darn cool.
Love the items that mom thinks he needs. I’m sure he will enjoy Christmas just being loved and cherished and having time with you.

fun list! have a wonderful Christmas morning!
thanks for stopping by my list.
p.s. how old is your son? mine is 7.
oh, he’s six. i just need to read a little more carefully!
(i thought he must be close in age to my son, because mine would enjoy many of the same gifts!)
Gracey: Mike called me this morning. He ordered it for Brendan. He’ll be so excited. Yes, he is a little spoiled, but at least most of the stuff he wants are thinking toys or craft stuff.
Mike: I had a feeling that I spelled it incorrectly, but I was in too much of a hurry to check it. Thanks for getting it for him. I am sure that will be one of his favorite gifts this year!
Lazy Daisy: Ah, thanks, Lazy Daisy! I do love him so much. I think I have more fun buying for him. I cannot wait to see his expressions when he opens them.
JO: Well, that is just the list I could remember. He will not get everything.
Mar: It is fun shopping for him. He is so sweet, that he will be excited no matter what he gets from everyone. Well, maybe not so much the clothes, but I was never too excited about that when I was younger either.
Tug: I agree. He learned so much more about letters and numbers before he ever went to school. He will sit and play with it for hours.
Allisonwonderland: They are fun at this age, aren’t they? Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, isn’t Christmas so sweet when there are kids around? I love it…I miss when my daughter was tiny it was so fun to see her face…although she still loves presents and the holidays of course. I also love hearing what kids are into and what toys are popular it’s so interesting!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and fighting with the comments feature…I don’t know how to fix it!

Sounds like he is going to have a great Christmas!!

Buying toys for kids is like shooting fish in a barrel, except when they want something like a Playstation 3, or the latest Elmo. Then the parents have to get out into a much crueler world. But when they’re still younger, it’s fun and sweet times for the parents.

Wow, looks like someone will be very, very happy Christmas morning! Happy TT!

Thanks for visiting.
When I was 5 and had no friends and spoke only German, my mother bought me a bag of marbles. First I sorted them by color, then I resorted by size, then by pattern, then by opacity, then by sparkle, then by intracacy, then by beauty, then I gave each and every one a distinct name, then I took each named item and imbued them with unique magical properties and personalities. Months passed as I created stories of conflicts and situations involving these characters.
Eventually I learned English and made new acquaintances and gradually spent less and less time with my marbled friends. But I never forgot them.
I linked to you from TT 13 Prescriptions and what Doctors really Mean
What a great list…and it sounds like he has a great mommy.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy TT…and God bless.
A great list!! Sounds like he will have alot of fun surprises waiting for him on Christmas morning! How fun!

Looks like a great list, and one I’d be glad if my own kids handed me.
Happy TT!

Candy Minx: I am sure my dad misses us being little, but I still love the gifts I get from him.
Laurel: He will, especially because his cousins will be here. They moved away this past summer, after living next door for five years. He misses them.
JAM: Thank God, Brendan is not interested in things like that (yet). He has never wanted a “must have” item. My nephew wanted a Buzz Lightyear and Bouncing Tigger when those were hard to get a few years back.
Joely: I think I am going to be ore excited to see his face.
Bernie: My Pooh Bear was my “friend” when I did not have many when I was a little girl. That’s cute about you and the marbles.
Bubba: Thanks. I love being a mom.
My 2 cents: Hey, I tried leaving you a comment, but beta would not let me do it. I am goind crazy with that thing!
Susan: Most of those items were very inexpensive too.
Wow, Brendan is a lucky little guy!
Thanks for visiting my TT.

He must be a crafty kid!
I want to get my 3 some creative toys…but I’m so afraid to see my house when they get done playing with them!
You just wait until he’s older. The list will be twice as long and three times as expensive. *Sigh* I remember when the boys (my bros) were satisfied with so little.
What do YOU want for Christmas?
Tink: I think I am the lucky one (blessed) for having him as a son!
Danielle: He loves craft things! It’s messy, but he has always loved that stuff.
Tink: I know. Maybe he’ll always love paints and stuff, although they can get expensive. So far, he could care less about the Playstation stuff. He loves his GameBoy, but is not obsessed with it.
My list will be up next week!
I bet you can guess what I really want for Christmas, and it does not cost anything at all.
And I bet every day it gets closer to Christmas he gets more and more excited. I’m still that way!
We always got new pajamas for Christmas–that’s the present we got to open on Christmas Eve. Now that I really need new pajamas, I don’t get any.
Oh, Wyatt loves those Kidz Paise Cd’s. So cute. Other than that, I don’t think theyhave any of the same things! Funny. The Dino things sound interesting….
Our big gift this year was our puppy, though. Wyatt really loves him. He can’t wait until he is big enough to sleep in bed with him, but I’m afraid he will get pused off and get hurt. Every little boy have dog, though, I think. The King Charles Spaniels are the best!
So friendly, and not yappy! Yay!
