I second the suggestion about the typewriter and/or wafflemaker for Kit in exchange for Grace the Basset Hound. Grace is cute, but, as was pointed out, doesn't have as much play value. The camera set, and nighttime necessities are darling as well...the old fashioned phone gets lots of laughs and "Oh, I remember those!" from people who see it! These are pretty sturdy things that can be played with and actually *used* instead of just standing there! Lin
