Campbell's Top Ten

It's been quite a while since we did a top ten of  Campbell's favorite things.  I thought it was high time for an update!

#10  Her handmade outfits, including this seersucker dress, from Daffodils and Daisies.  Ok....maybe these are actually mommy's favorites ;)
#9 Maggie's Boppy Travel Swing...she finally is not freaking out when Maggie gets in it 

#8  Dot Paints (really any paints!)

#7  Her water table...however, to Campbell it's a mini-pool on legs :)

I found these blocks at Dollar General ($8 rather than the $16 on Amazon).  Campbell loves them, especially in the bathtub because they stick together and it's easier to build with them.

#5  Books
We are so lucky in our area to have access to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.   This program sends all children under the age of 5 a new free book each month.  Some of Campbell's favorite books are ones she's gotten from them.  Check to see if it's available in your area! 

#4  Abby Cadabby Quilt
One of my co-workers is an amazingly talented quilter.  She made Campbell and Maggie quilts to celebrate Maggie's birth.  When she asked me what Campbell would like, all I could think was Sesame Street.  So, she made this beautiful quilt for Campbell and Maggie has a smaller quilt with Abby in a different pose.  Campbell loves it so much that she insists upon sleeping on top of her bedspread with her Abby quilt covering her.

#3  Bows
Campbell is definitely a "girly girl".  Every day when I dress her, she insists on having a bow (normally this is great, but when she's wearing a bathing suit to go to the pool, the bow can be a bit much).  Some of our current favorites are these bows that are handmade with her initial on them. You can see more bottle cap creations from our friend Missy: http://www.facebook.com/#!/KustomKapKreations.

#2  Baby Dolls
Campbell loves baby dolls of all kinds.  She's not snobby...in this picture she's piled her American Girl doll right along with cheap-o dolls of all kinds.

#1 Anything Sesame Street
Campbell currently owns dolls for almost the whole Sesame Street cast.  Most mornings we'll hear her playing with the dolls in her bed.  As soon as we find a doll for Bert, she'll have everyone (and believe me, she knows he's missing).
