My youngest nieces, my brother's daughter and my sister's daughter, are both 18.

When they were little, their favorite toy was a Cozy Coupe -- the ones they had didn't have a handle at the back for an adult to push like the new ones do! (Push me, Aunt Elyse! Push me!)


My sister's daughter had a mobile over her crib that had black and white designs on one side, and colored designs on the other, that she was always captivated by. When she was in her crib she would look at it and even talk to it. All these years later she is into graphic designs and photography, I wonder if that mobile gave her a very early start.

Now that they're almost off to college, the "toy" of choice is definitely an iPod. They'd both love an iPhone or an iPad!
