I recently say a new kind of ball toy and thought "Wow!Gabe would LOVE that!" But, I also looked at the age and moved on to something else. I think your idea of fish is a great one. Sometimes it's hard to know how to expand our child's interests when at times they seem so limited. Most of the time, Gabe really surprises me with how age appropriate he is with toys. I don't think he will ever be into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles though...I probably should'nt have jinxed myself. (lol)<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>KristinMom to Mr. Handsomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664592848896720811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425654.post-1156290597287262092006-08-22T19:49:00.000-04:002006-08-22T19:49:00.000-04:00It's refreshing to hear your take on birthdays.

I feel like I am surrounded by parents who feel obligated to throw a huge expensive party for each and every birthday- not to mention showering the child with gifts.<BR/><BR/>Henry's birthday is Sept. 1, and I have gathered a few gift ideas for the relatives that will ask. But he is also hard to shop for.<BR/><BR/>I also salute your fish idea! Sounds perfect.<BR/><BR/>Happy Birthday to sweet Oliver!gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16104742026667801816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425654.post-1156284461782184662006-08-22T18:07:00.000-04:002006-08-22T18:07:00.000-04:00Roo also loves that ball toy and his aide from his...Roo also loves that ball toy and his aide from his school bought it for him for his FOURTH birthday this year. I have told myself that I can not pay attention to the ages on the box. But, I have felt just as you have explained walking around Target with an empty cart trying to find a toy that my boy would like to play with. <BR/><BR/>We did the fish thing though and he loves the fish! I bet Oliver will too.<BR/><BR/>HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVER!!!Mamaroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418994345171144928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425654.post-1156272676336661492006-08-22T14:51:00.000-04:002006-08-22T14:51:00.000-04:00If it makes you feel any better, Tobin plays with ...If it makes you feel any better, Tobin plays with that ball toy and loves it. :-)<BR/><BR/>Happy birthday Oliver!!!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131149587708735242noreply@blogger.com
