I can't help but to wonder

MommyToAshley wrote: if we are wasting our money buying Ashley toys for Christmas. I think she would be happier if we bought her a jacket (so she could play with the zipper), a pair of shoes (so she could play with the shoe strings), a hat (so she could have fun putting it on Dad's head), and a basket full of laundry (so she could throw the laundry all over the floor and run around with the basket on her head). LOL!

~CrazieMama~ replied: lol, sounds like a waste to me..... Go with the jacket, shoes, hat an basket of laundry. j/k Sounds like Brianna, she loves doing the same things. Aren't they just so cute with the basket over their heads? lol

Kaitlin'smom replied: LOL! I was thinking Kaitlins gonna have more fun ripping the paper more than anything! I am sure she will play with them eventually maybe not that day but soon after and if no I coulnd come over and play with them LOL J/K!

DansMom replied: I know what you mean!! Plus there are all the toys the relatives will be giving. Do we really need to add to those?

Schnoogly replied: Yeah, or a box. Or just give them the wrapping paper.

You guys are lucky--you only have Christmas presents to deal with. We have BIRTHDAY and XMAS EXTRAVAGANZA! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

I'm going to put the presents in the closet and just bring one out a week until they're all gone.

Otherwise, overstimulation central!!

Also, I bought cheap stuff--those wooden animal puzzles for $5, little people cars, stuff like that. Also, I'm buying him presents that are really for ME, like a sheepskin rug for him to sleep on. Clothes (he hates clothes, so that's not really a present!)

dh didn't want to get him anything this year...but i couldn't get myself to buy him NOTHING...so i bought a ton of stuff and i know i'm gonna get it later...but that's ok..i'll just wrap em up and put my family's names on them! they're on the mainland...

5littleladies replied: The only thing that Brianna is getting that I know is not going to be a waste of money is a baby doll. Every time she see's one she carries it around with her and gives it lots of hugs and kisses. I can't wait to giver her one of her own! Everything else she is getting I'm sure will be dispensable.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
I am right with you I have 2 days of x-mas the two days later is her Party! I have been tring to clan out her room in prepration.....

Jamison'smama replied: You are right about that---I think we buy to make it easier on us--new things for us to play with. I know I get tired of the toys we play together with now.

Jamison would be happy if I just made copies of all of her pictures and gave them to her in a big box for her to carry around and say "baby"--and a big box of toilet paper!!!!!

CantWait replied: LOL that is too funny

MommyToAshley replied:
LOL! Too funny!

Ashley is the same, she loves pictures of herself. LOL And toilet paper, newspaper, any kind of paper that she can tear up.

paradisemommy replied: lol we're with you on the tp..taven loves to go into the bathroom and grab the end of the tp and run..pretty funny but not so fun to clean up
