Stream of Consciousness Sundays ~ Christmas Lists

Pin It

It's that time of year again. Jaron's birthday is in 2 weeks. Christmas in 2 months, Aedyn's birthday a month after that.

What do they need? What do they want? What do Jake and I want (for them)?

I've got a list that's full of things I've seen over the last several months that I think they'd like. Well, 2 lists I guess. I started writing one and then just started snapping pics with my phone of things I saw, it was quicker...

They don't need everything on there and we don't have the $$ to buy everything on there. Jaron is still a baby and so it's all our choice. Aedyn, at almost 3, has his own opinion this year. I want to get him things like Candyland and Chutes and Ladders, craft kits, things that we can do together, and a fish tank.

He wants Hot Wheels and Transformers and Star Wars stuff. ( I am actually proud of the Star Wars stuff...) But I'm trying to balance the line between choosing gifts that he wants and the gifts that I want. Like I said he doesn't need everything and we need to save some things for his brother to get new...

No one warned me about this part of parenting! Why does it have to be so difficult not to spoil a child???
