I need a gift by Sunday, so I don't have time order anything online. Tillman is going to a friend's birthday party and the mom said that they are trying to scale back on all the toys, so a gift certificate for an experience is what she would prefer. Any suggestions? She mentioned The Bouncy Place, but I'd like to do something more original than that since they live 2 minutes away from there and go often. I don't want to spend a lot of money. My first thought was to adopot a pet from the zoo, but that would take more than a few days to get all the stuff and giving it late is just lame for a 4 year old.

TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
Re: 4 year old (experience type) birthday gift
What about the Children's Museum either in Seattle or Factoria? There's a Curious George exhibit at the Seattle one right now that I really want to go to.
You could also look at the Tiny Tots program at the Seattle Symphony and see if you can buy single tickets for that. That's a lot of fun with the little ones.
Or maybe a gift cert to Build a Bear or something like that? Or a gift cert for one of those paint your own pottery things?
I love that the mom said they dont' need anything but then didnt just say "no gifts please!" what a pain in the butt.
A month of lessons... gymnastics, swimming, cooking, etc.
A trip to an off the wall kind of place, like out here there is a kangaroo petting farm (Arlington), and a reptile/snake zoo (sultan).
