Okay, way far out, but what are you getting LO for Christmas??? He is not getting much for his birthday, so I can't imagine that Christmas will be much better.
I haven't decided what to get LO for his birthday yet! DH and I are both bowlers so I know he wants a mini plastic bowling set. I don't really have a back yard (townhouse) but I want to get him some sort of cozy coupe. Whatever we don't get for birthday we will get for Christmas.

Our problem is that Ds1 already has everything. A cozy coupe, a kitchen set, Little People playsets, everything. And the girl already has a phone, laptop and tablet. My kids need nothing .

I feel like a jerk saying this, but at 1 yr old, we will get a few small things. Our older son had no clue about gifts the first year and we have his baby toys that our little guy is more than happy with.

Someone last year mentioned a tradition they do: something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. I have no ideas what specifically we will do in each category but I like the structure and the set number of gifts.
I like this, too, and it's more or less what we did this year. If people asked what we wanted for him, we asked for books.

Zoo/children's museum membership?
Brilliant! I would have never thought of that! Also, my friend said she did a set of books for her kids (chronicles of Narnia, Little House on the Prairie, etc.) They are too old for her kids now, but she wanted to start their libraries.
Hey notches. We had a busy weekend. I came down with some cold/sinus thing and felt like craaaaaaaaap all day. DD has the sniffles but that hasn't stopped her. That girl is in EVERYTHING lately. She is also becoming quite the little daredevil. Needless to say, today was exhausting chasing her all around.
I think we plan to get dd a wagon for her birthday. We will still have several weeks to months to use it before we are blanketed in eternal winter... and dd can use it next spring and summer too.
Sigh. DH's family is super flaky, so we rescheduled dinner for Tuesday. I'm annoyed, but DH didn't seem to be. I'm trying to act cool even though it carved into time we need to spend packing (and time we could have spent cleaning and finishing painting at the new house today by the time they told us.) I'm so plan-oriented, I sometimes have a breakdown-tears and everything- when things don't go according to plan, even if it's of no real consequence, so it's hard for me to have several days of plans shuffled when it impacts lots of other plans. I'm sucking it up because DH's family kind of sucks, like, at life, and I want him to feel supported by me at least. It's just so frustrating. Ok, rant over.

Great idea! Sorry you were sick! I took pleasure in having DH watch DS the last two days while I painted so he could see how exhausting it is to chase him all day. He painted for 20 minutes while I fed DS, and keeps saying how sore he is. Um, yah, it's not from 20 minutes of painting. It's from chasing, holding, wrestling, and toting that little sack of potatoes!

That is tough. Kudos for being a supportive spouse though!

Thanks. I think this is like the 6th cold I've had since dd was born. It sucks I can't take anything decent for congestion while breastfeeding but I'll survive.

Did you and DH enjoy dinner at least?
We just ate at home, but it was good. DS had beets for the first time. He loved them and they of course looked hilarious all over his hands and face. I'll share for HDBD.
Thanks for the support, lads. I get all mama bear when it comes to DH because he's so good, and deserves better from his family. This time last year when his dad passed was the worst. It felt like us against the world. His dad was the rock in his life.

Aww. Hugs lady. I'm the exact same way so I know what you mean.

This!! Everyone else spoils her with toys and junk so I might get her a small thing but thats it. She doesnt know the difference. Same with her first birthday. DD1 is 3 now and will be even more fun at Christmas.
