Ugh. :-( My parents were glad to get me any reasonable "wholesome" toy that I happened to like. It was usually Breyer model horses, My Little Ponies, Hot Wheels, marbles, or something visually stimulating. To be honest? I still love all of those.

Ah well, at least you got Legos. Those are awesome. I got my 1 1/2-year-old niece Mega Blocks for Christmas. I had no idea she would immediately know what to do with them.
