We appreciate all the gifts we've ever gotten! Except for that time Lokys farted right at me.
We do not look a gift horse in the mouth (or a Lithuanian gift horse in the teeth). We would rather feel ungrateful by telling people what to buy/not buy for our kid(s--I've already received an email asking whent to start sending baby presents).
But there are two points I think I should make clear. I've decided it will be worth it to avoid uncomfortableness by making two requests here for everyone who might buy something for my kids. I'll add them to my blog header for people who miss this post.
1. Please avoid things made in China. I realize many things (e.g. Monopoly, Boggle, many other games) are only made there, and if that's the case so be it. However, please note that such things will either have to be cleaned or laundered by hand or in the washing machine before we let her play with them; any toys with small parts will have to wait in the closet until the kids are old enough not to swallow them.
2. Please avoid all things pink. All other colors are super, even peach and lavender are okay (sort of)!
Once again, thanks for every gift everybody's ever given us. Please do excuse me, but this is the least awekward way I could think of to pass on our wishes.

spell check still broken?
i gave it up for lent.
i finally got my shiz together and made a box to mail the three of you for fun, and the price of mailing it to you was $45.
which exceeds the price of its contents.
so i hope you come to the states to claim the box some time soon.
that's really funny, liepa, not only the fact but also your use of the word shiz.
better to give up incorrect spelling for lent.
or maybe for a whole year.
