Parenting after 35

Anyone thinking about xmas yet?

I'm trying to spread out my xmas shopping and I'm looking for ideas besides clothes for my 21 month old.  I know I want to get a growth chart.  I also got some flash cards, and some age appropriate Legos (she likes them).  What do you have on your list??

Re: Anyone thinking about xmas yet?

  • A razor scooter from Santa and a bunch of Thomas stuff from us.
  • Loading the player...
  • books, puzzles, coloring books, an old fashioned spin top, an old fashioned jack in the box, pkg of first underwear (*gulp*) <- stuff already purchased.

    if i wrap all of it separately, she'll have plenty to unwrap but her bday is 4 days later so we do need to get something else. was originally thinking of getting a play kitchen but am thinking more about getting a car ramp set or a train set. and maybe a cool firetruck or ambulance she could push around- or another school bus. girl loves school buses and firetrucks and ambulances and trains. :)

    Ooohhhh... a spin top. DH has been bugging me about getting one of those for DS. Where'd you get yours?
  • stever- zulily.com had a set of old fashioned stuff a while back including one of those and i snagged it up b/c she's always asking me to spin one of her toys for her that's not meant for spinning. : )

    if i remember, i'll see if can look up the manufacturer and post it tomorrow.

  • Some ideas for you are:  step stool, doll stroller, shopping cart, baby dolls, blocks, books.  No need to go overboard at that age.

    DS is getting lots of cars (including Cars cars), a Cars garage, Thomas train wooden set, PJs, books and other small odds and ends.

    Yes
  • We just go out of town for a Christmas get-away.  The teens will each get a little something and the baby will get a little something but generally we don't exchange a lot of gifts (a welcome change from a few years ago).  We also leave town because our families are crazy...not having to deal with them during the holidays is the best gift!!
