Re: What are the CN kids getting this year?

  • I'm turning my kid into a geek. A camera, a toy laptop, a leapster game thing, and a big buzz lightyear doll.

  • So far we haven't gotten him anything.  We'll probably get him some books, the Fisher Price farm, and some art supplies.  Since he's too little to 'get' Christmas I think I'll wrap up some wipes, diapers, Diaper Genie refills, and bubble bath for him to play with.
  • Maggie is getting a 123 Sesame Street building playset, a tape measure, Thomas the Train bath toys, a Mickey Mouse train, puzzles, a drum. Probably a couple other small things. Owen gets bath toys, books, not much else since he has a jillion hammidown toys from his sister.
    image Ready to rumble.
  • Books, a music table, a bead maze, toy instruments, other stuff I can't remember.

    Kay, I think my mom got him the farm.

  • Kate is getting a crawl tunnel, books, water table, sensory balls, rhythm set, drum toy, and learning laptop.

  • My nieces pulled their farm out of storage for Ian to play with at Thanksgiving, and he loved it.  He's really into making animal noises. Speaking of Fisher Price have you all seen that they brought some of their classic toys back for Christmas.  I think I had all of these, and they make me really nostalgic.   I'm hoping someone gets Ian the record player, and I suspect my mom is buying him the milk wagon.
  • Activity table, pajamas, books, some Melissa and Doug playsets, sensory balls, and I'm going to declare the outfits I bought on Hautelook yesterday part of his Christmas.

    Ethan's definitely getting clothes and stuff that we would have had to buy him anyway for Christmas.

    Jane has the phone and loves it.  Not that she'll ever need to know how to dial a rotary phone.

    She's getting a walk behind thing (we're still trying to find one), an activity cube thing, wooden alphabet blocks, a wagon from one set of g'parents, and puzzles, books, knitted goods from the other set.  Along with little stocking stuffer type things from the dollar area of Target.

    Us too. Clothes and baby wash. I think some basics will go in his stocking too.

  • bead maze and a wooden music table from me. Mr. Winged has something for him and won't tell me what it is.

    My parents had brought down my wooden rocking chair and wooden rocking horse from when I was a baby and so he is getting those too.

    He is having 2 Christmases, one here and one in Florida. In Florida we will probably just have him unwrap our gifts too.

     The best thing- and this is not a gift he gets, but gifts he gives- we are dressing him up as Santa Christmas Eve when we fly to Florida and having him bring a red sack of gifts to give to the people at the airline. i am way excited about that and since he loves to be the center of attention, I think it will be a "gift" for him.

  • another freakin pony

     

     

    mod insists

  • bowling set, chair for camping (that clips to a picnic table), dinosaur puppet, big huge inflatable punching clown (seriously), wooden dinosaur that moves when you pull it behind you.

  • Erm...uh...I have to go shopping.   I'm really behind the 8ball this year.   i think some Thomas stuff, I'd like to find a viewfinder but i don't think they make them anymore, something with Mickey Mouse?   I should go to ToysRUs at lunch.
    image
  • We saw viewfinders at Target, Sam.

    Edit: and I just remembered you don't have Target

  • play kitchen, plastic rocker thing, magnadoodle, miner hat, clothes and art supplies.

  • Amazon won't ship to us either.  America doesn't want any stupid Canadian money

  • Whaaaa? There's no Amazon.ca?

  • Wow.  I'm feeling like a bit of a slacker here.  We got him the retro kitchen set, a small Woody doll, and we will get him a little basketball hoop.  I'm sure we'll pick up some smaller stuff, but I am seriously considering buying the kid a pack of plastic spoons.  "Foons" are his favorite.

  • OMG, I'm half tempted to buy up all those classic Fisher Price toys for myself.  I love all of them! 

    Although I seem to remember having all those milk jugs in a little carrying thing and not in an actual truck.  Maybe mine was a different version.

  • Will won't make up his damn mind about what he would like Santa to bring him. We explained how the Santa thing works (he could ask for a present not just what kind of wrapping paper Santa would use), and now he can't decide if he would like a remote controlled race car or a tricycle or a kitchen or maybe a train table. When I told him he needed to pick just one of those things he told me it was too hard and maybe Santa could just bring them all. Sorry buddy, Santa isn't made of monies. Aside from whatever he picks for his Santa gift, he's getting some Thomas trains for his train set, some more Mo Willems books, some t-shirts from Threadless, Matchbox cars for his stocking, and some puzzles. And whatever else we think of because we haven't actually done any shopping yet.

    Evie is getting a lovey similar to Will's Mr. Lion (she grabs at Mr. Lion if Will has it near her, it's kind of funny), some t-shirts from Threadless, and probably some of the old Fisher Price toys. And again, whatever else we think of because we haven't done shopping yet.

    Does Will watch Dora?  We watched the Present for Santa episode the other day and I couldn't help but notice that Dora was carrying a big green present with a red bow on it for Santa through the whole episode.

  • He doesn't watch Dora. I still don't know where he got that idea from. A couple days ago he also requested a big blue present. With a bike inside. Not a tricycle. A bike mom. A real bike. A blue one.

    Dude, you're two. You don't need a real bike.

    Connor was quite insistent that he wanted an Orange Bike for his birthday. 

    My experience has been that the train table is a HUGE hit (even if there's nowhere to put the damn thing other than the middle of the living room).

  • Get Will a balance bike.  A blue one.  In a blue box.

  • Yeah, that's our problem - we don't have a whole lot of space. I like the idea of this one http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=536969&parentCategoryId=85182&categoryId=85213 except all our furniture is light wood and it might look pretty out of place. There's a corner in his bedroom we might be able to put one, but then we'd have to move the bookshelf. But he has a wood train set and tons of trains and I know he would love to play with it all the time if we had a dedicated place for a track. Decisions decisions...

    There is an amazon.ca but it is only books and DVD's and whatnot. No cool stuff like you guys have.
