Oof I’m struggling with this because D1 is asking for every toy in sight and we have no room and need to purge so much to begin with. I also think she is at an age where she would question why Santa only brought M a couple things lol. I feel bad because she needs nothing for clothes, books, toys, anything right now so I’m stumped.

I just want museum memberships bc they’re $$. I also want a million toys bc every time I see something cool I’m like I want that for him!! But realistically he doesn’t NEED them and we don’t have a ton of room so really Idk. Maybe a train set. He loves trains and cars. 🤷🏻♀️

jt2378, I’m sure it’s even more cumbersome when you have 2 kids. And I’m sorry even sure how the Santa thing works yet. 😂 addymac, I think experiences is a good gift too! I’ll have to remember that one. Maybe the zoo would be good.

I think I’m going to get R some bath toys - T has some small things, but I figure that’s something we could have more of and bigger. T always had quick baths due to recommendation for eczema. I also think I might look for more books with music, since she’s loves music. www.amazon.com/Disney-Mickey-Digital-Play-Song/dp/141278848X/She also loved the music player that came with this book, but it broke months ago. So, I think we will buy another. Or, plus, maybe a little radio with microphone. Girl likes microphones. We got T a kitchen when she was 20 months and she loved it. R plays with it - so, I recommend one if your kid doesn’t have one. www.amazon.com/d/Baby-Toddler-Toys/Sesame-Street-Elmos-Go-Letters/B00PAE805S/I also recommend this toy. T loved it for years. My niece played with it for years. R has liked it, but I haven’t really sat with her to work on her letters.

Since I haven’t seen you much in randoms I’m asking here! How you feeling? Hi! I’m sicker and more tired this time around I think it’s because I have a toddler and I am to busy to keep up with the hunger and to busy to sleep whenever I want. It’s hard being pregnant with M. She’s always been high maintenance. My husband and I are both more highly strung? Busy bodies? Wildcards? I don’t know but she’s like the both of us combined, lots if energy and character. I have zero chance of a chill baby. I feel confident we are done at 2. Although I thought for sure M would be an only child until one day I changed my mind. I’m going to get an IUD and my husband keeps talking about a vasectomy. I have pretty much told everyone. I feel a lot of weird feelings about this pregnancy. This was really easy. TTC Maria took 16 months and 2 losses. This baby took TTC 3 months, The end. I didn’t expect that so they’re going to be really close in age. I feel less secure about this pregnancy even though I have had 3! Ultra sounds one was today. I feel like I’m just waiting for something bad to happen and I can’t shake it. Wow I talk a lot. That’s how I’m feeling though. What’s new with you Your ultrasound was today?! Eeek my question was perfect timing then lol. All went well I’m guessing? Yes I really struggled in my second pregnancy because so sick and taking care of a toddler at the same time is basically torture. Both my kids are high maintenance too so I hear ya. M is a better sleeper thankfully (D1 was a disaster) but she is harder in other ways. It’s so awesome though seeing them grow up together, it makes it all worth it 😊 I hope the sickness eases up soon for you. I’m ok. So far Fall has sucked for us. D1 has been constantly sick and I already feel so stir crazy being stuck at home and winter hasn’t even started 😩

I'm not totally sure what we are getting J but some ideas are crayons, puzzles, I know we are getting him a car track playmat with cars, possibly a train, boots, and maybe a few books.

I want to buy everything from Melissa and Doug Pretty much this. Trains, puzzles, food toys. But I’m trying to not. I lost by main CC for a week and it really helped me not spend a lot of $ that week bc my CC # wasn’t auto loaded into the computer yet LOL.

My H is getting a vasectomy before this one is born, he is not messing around!

I am so lost in terms of presents. I am thinking clothes and small things from family and we will just go places with them. Last year most of my daughter's 'santa' presents were things relatives sent and we just put money in her bank account. Same for J.

I made the mistake of letting ds1 see the paper catalogue Amazon sent. He has so much faith santa will bring him lots of things 🤦

We have a melissa and doug.farm puzzle and j loves it. The mat with cars I bought is melissa and Doug also. My local baby and kids store had 20% off all melissa and doug in October so I bought stuff then. Dh came home with a ny forst Thomas the train set yesterday so I guess we are giving him that too.
Have you seen the melissa and doug diner or dinette set? So cute!

We have 2 sets and I'm not thrilled with either Nora likes regular crayons. Super tasty. 😂 They make really fat/wide ones. DS liked those but destroyed them. N hasn't had a problem with the regular ones. Silverware, both kids like the Gerber graduates forks that are metal and plastic. Spoons are mostly the Take and Toss ones.

M still eats everything in sight so crayons are off the table for now. They would be eaten and broken in half 😂

king26, we were at a restaurant a few weeks back that had crayons that were triangular instead of round so they didn't constantly roll off the table! Like these: www.amazon.com/dp/B001PMI0B8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MX57BbVT0C3QEI thought it was so genius because every time M colors I spend 75% of the time picking the crayons off the floor cuz they roll off the table. So now I want to get her those!
