Will edit and add as I think of more :)

We'd like to play, too. We'll be needed 5T/4-5 stuff for warmer weather. DS is tall and thin, so his 3Ts look like capri's!

On an aside: Can someone explain the difference between 5T and 5? He's got some of each, and I can't really figure it out at this size. He can wear size 4, but the 4Ts we have seem shorter. He can wear 4, 5, and 5T, some are a bit big, tho'...I'm so confused....

We could use (all in size 4-5/5T, see above):

- shorts
- t-shirts (a tie-dye nut)
- socks to fit size 11 feet
- age-appropriate craft supplies
- he loves workbooks (connect the dots, counting, early reading)
- he's into swimming, golf, riding his bike, and running
- kids music CDs with easy to learn songs
- other nature things, this kid loves to be outside
- surprises!

I'm not too much into characters, basic boys stuff in cotton is best. Polyester makes us itchy and hot.

I think that's about it....I have so loved Amity swaps and am looking forward to another!

Annabanana :happy:

Jodi, you had me cracking up :)

From what I understand the "T" sizes allow room for a diaper, whereas the other sizes assume underwear :)

Josh definitely wants in, but I'll have to figure out what he wants/needs :)

my boys would love to get mail. Would the items have to be new, or could it be something that they no longer play with that is still in good condition? If it could be something that we already have, we could join.

I think we could side you in under the age limit barb!!!!LOL
The items would not have to be new just in GC.
I am glad to see this is a go this is my first "swap" as the organizer!!!
Can't wait!!!

He really likes Spiderman, SpongeBob, Krypto the Superdog, Star Wars. He likes books, puzzles, action figures, and clothes with those characters. He also likes to draw.

Josh's list is subject to editing as we try to think of things :)

*Land before time videos, numbers 6-10.. vhs or DVD - not sure if burned will work, but willing to try..
*3T clothes for summer.. he looks best in deeper, muted colors.. burnt orange, gold, deep greens and blues and burgundy.. he's not into many characters but absolutely loves dragons, dinosaurs and gnomes. Mama made stuff is wonderful. He especially needs summer pajamas. He's potty trained, so no overalls or onesies or anything hard to remove for him.
*color wonder paper
*playsilk blanks, any size
*black ballet slippers and boy's tap shoes.. lmk what sizes you've got?
*boy polly pockets. He loves to play them with his sister, and boys aren't as easy to find. We don't need any sets, just the dolls/clothes..

Patrick wants some mail!

He's 5 and loves Star Wars, legos, and superheros.

He mostly wants/needs:
*knit shorts size 5, not baggy, with no side pockets. Shorts are the staple of his wardrobe. Even in the winter.
*Star Wars or superhero dress up outfits (pajamas with capes count!) or t-shirts to fit a 5/6.
*Star wars legos
*lego sets with instructions (doesn't need to be new)
*books about star wars, legos, and superheroes. Easy readers would be great, but he bigger books with lots of pictures, too.
*GCs to TRU, walmart. Big brother is a better money earner and saver, and Patrick sometimes wishes he had a little spending cash. ;)
*HO scale train accessories. We have Marklin trains, and they're incompatible with everything else, but Patrick could use trees, people, buildings, whatever.
*easier-to-understand books on electric trains. so many are written for 50 year old men. :D
*Blundstone boots size 12. I can dream. :) Then he and Dylan and mommy would all match!

My son would love to get mail addressed to him!

Gabe would like to join the swap... he is always disappointed when the packages are addressed to me :(

Gabe is 6 1/2 years old, and likes to pretend to be a knight or a superhero. He loves Spiderman, Batman, and King Arthur. He likes to play outside too, shovels, buckets, watering cans, gardening stuff (kid sized gloves would be great!) He takes karate classes, so is currently interested in things that are Japanese.

He loves Playdough, paints...Well crafts
He has a Cd player and LOVES music ( :hbeat: Hillary Duff)
Like any boy loves, cars, trucks. legos

But like me he just LOVES suprises and mail!!!!

Barb, we just got home form CA and the boys LOVED their package. Thanks so much, they were so excited to get mail in their name and full of fun stuff!
I'm so glad they liked the package!!

Tina, Stuart did get his, we are waiting on Ben's. It was kinda weird, cause Stuart got his on Ben's birthday, so I had to explain about the swap and that he (Ben) was going to get one too. So everyday now he asks if his has gotten here yet and is upset that it isn't here.

Josh gets so excited when the mail comes too.. and then so sad. :eyes:

korwynne - i was working on something special for your dino loving boy - i hope he likes it...it went out thursday priority, i'm sorry it was so late!

It came and he was beyond thrilled! What's really funny is that he had a pair of jammie pants in that SAME fabric that we could never find something to match.. so he wore the shirt and the pants to bed last night and kept saying "two mommies made these for me and they didn't even know that the other mommy did that.. I love these mommies!" Thank you so much!!:hbeat:
