Mission Impossible

I was given the difficult task lately of baby gift shopping. I know cool items, sure, but kids are like a foreign language to me. They don't like me, I don't like them. I don't know anyting about the behavior of a kid. We just kind of stay away from each other. 

We landed on some DVDs we know the kiddo loves, but if I'd seen Jonathan Adler's Twoolies Lion, I would have totally gotten this instead. Created by an architect and Mayan artists, the Twoolies are carefully handmade by Tzotzil weavers using natural wool knitted in manual looms, and are a modern twist on ancestral, native designs.
