A little sled painted red, a pair of skates, a hobby horse, a train of little cars, a ??? tool chest and you might put in a pair of mittens as it might be cold when I go to skate. And a little express wagon that I can use when the snow goes off. I would like to have a little pony but I have no stable and Mamma will not let me keep it in the house.
