Christmas is quickly approaching, and I have been browsing around, thinking of what each of the kids might like, or want. Leah is so into Dora the Explorer right now, and they just came out with these take-a-long Dora the Explorer playsets, like the Thomas the Tank Engine ones? They are so cute! I would really like to get
THIS one for Leah but, the whole lead paint recall keeps resurfacing in my mind. Tons of Dora the Explorer products were recalled recently (none of which we own), then even more...and now there are 5 more Thomas the Tank Engine themed vehicles recalled, and...we have one of them. The Brendham Fishing Dock, cargo car.

Luckily, only this one, I sent in 4 last time, and still have not received replacements. This is making shopping for christmas toys/gifts, very hard, the haunting thought that I might be buying and giving to my children something that is covered in lead paint! Maybe it's just time to go back to good old fashioned wooden toys?!
