my dearest family

ellen's birthday is approaching, and dave and i would like to humbly ask that if, perchance, you are planning to purchase something for her, would you consider something other than a toy? I promise you she has been very well outfitted with toys and we are, in fact, reaching a bit of a problem logistically with toy storage. Instead, if you would like (please feel no obligation) you might consider some sort of educational dvd (the Leap Frog ones are outstanding - she currently has Letter Factory and completely loves it. or Signing Times or something similar) or a book? or craft supplies like glitter glue or pipe cleaners or things along that line?
