I was reading on the school aged children board and came across a thread about kids playing with their parents old toys. We have a collection of American Girl Dolls. It started with the three I had as a child that my mom saved for me. I had Kirsten, bought her with my own money collecting cans, Samantha, and Molly. I gave them to my stepdaughter. She went on to collect Felicity and Felicity's friend, can't think if the name. My stepdaughter has them in safe keeping to give to Audrey someday.
Will your LO have any of your old toys to play with?
Re: Your Old Toys
DD has inherited my My Little Pony collection, I have the doll house my father built for me and I will pass on to her when she's old enough. She also has my cabbage patch doll and the cabbage patch knock-off that DH's grandmother made for him.
MIL is also bringing up a lot of DH's toys when she comes up at Christmas. DD is the first grandchild for that side of the family and so she is getting everything the ILs have been saving. Her toybox is going to look like a museum from the early 80's :-)
