DS will be 2 in Dec. as well and we are doing a kitchen (no it is not just for boys and he LOVEs playing with them already) which will be a birthday present from us, a tool bench (to off set the kitchen for dad) which will be a birthday present from Nana and Pa, a train table for Christmas from us, art supplies from Santa and a big wheel from us or Santa or someone. We are also asking for some trains, cars and boy stuff. DS is sooo into Elmo that I think he needs some boy stuff for when he grows out of that some.

Does your LO have a kitchen? Those are popular among our DD's.
DD loves her little kitchen.
This year her big gift is going to be the Melissa & Doug easel.
