Anything with wheels, TIS!! Little boys are always born with the "vroom" gene! Matchbox cars, toy firetrucks (ones with working sirens are best, although your daughter won't appreciate it), anything like that. I have 2 nephews, and I remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were quite popular, although I'm sure that's no longer true. Beth's right - tub toys are great, and they even have plastic books that they can take in the tub. Once he's older, they love character stuff, from Blue's Clues to Thomas the Tank Engine to Barney. And there's always Sesame Street to fall back on!
