My niece Phoenix turns one on Saturday and I am on a quest to get her the best first birthday present ever. Obviously I am going to get her an incredibly loud and obnoxious toy, because that it what really good aunts are supposed to do. I read it in the manual. And of course I am going to buy her sweet little girl clothes, mostly because I'm incapable of passing Gap Kids without buying her something. Or everything in the 12 month section. Whatever. Look at that face and tell me you'd have more self control. That's what I thought. I'm a slave to the cuteness.
But I need ideas for a gift that's more helpful to my sister, who's a single mom. What did someone give you that made your life with a new toddler much, much easier?
