Diego's 2nd birthday is in a few months and I am trying to figure out what type of gifts would be best for him. Last year was so easy b/c we got him the Kettler.
I have been considering a sandbox or table but our nearby park has a huge volleyball pit that all the kids use as a giant sandbox so I might see how he does w/ that before I make the purchase.
The other idea is a train table. We were thinking about getting him the PB train table. Right now he is using our old coffee table as his train table. However, my neighbor is has two train tables...one is in current use and is a Thomas table and the other is brand new and from Target. I asked her if she was still selling it and she said you can have it. If I do decide to get it from her, then I will obviously give her some money....but it would still be a great deal and I wouldn't consider this our gift to Diego.
Right now for smaller gifts, I am considering:
Aquadoodle minimats....but he really isn't into coloring/drawing
More Sandra Boynton books....he LOVES BOOKS!! and already has tons
Melissa and Dough cutting food....he really is enjoying his berchet kitchen an and my mom and dad are getting him a toaster and coffee maker for his b-day which I am sure he will love
Trucks....he loves trucks and could add a few more to his collection
Larger gifts:
PB anywhere chair...so he can read his beloved books
small table and chairs so when he cooks in his "kitchen" he has a place to "eat"
sand table/box...see above???
train table...see above??
I was also thinking more Thomas trains and track but I think he has "enough" for now....
Any thoughts? suggestions? How about outdoor toys? He has a swing, a small slide, an easel, a kettler, and a small ride on toy. My friend is getting him a play grill.
In addition to loving books and trucks, he seems to really enjoy letter, shapes and the alphabet....he loves his alphabet pal by leapstart and already has the phonics magnets....
please help me out!
