We've been getting a ton of questions about what the boys want for Christmas. They certainly don't need anything, and I really can't think of anything they want.
If you ask Trent what he wants, you probably won't get an answer of any kind. Unless you ask what he wants from Santa, in which case he'll respond "candy canes". Neither Joel or myself has really explained Santa to Trent (short of he's a nice guy at the mall who gives out candy canes). We talk a lot about Christmas, but more about the Jesus' Birthday part and less about the Santa part.
If it helps at all, Trent does like Mickey Mouse and Handy Manny. He loves books and crafts (but not coloring with crayons at the moment). We've been buying "big boy" books- the kind with real pages- and he does like them. He also really likes backhoes, tractors, dogs, and dancing. He's in 2t but is already outgrowing some of the things we own in that size.
As for Ryan- he's a busy little guy. He has pretty much everything (including a new found ability to crawl and two front teeth- the bottom ones!). He really has no idea what's going on but he does love the Christmas tree and sparkly lights. He's too little to have too many specific likes but he does love making noise. He also puts everything in his mouth (very unlike his big brother at the same age) so we have to be especially careful of choking hazards with him. He's in the 6-12m/9-12m size range at the moment.
(Aren't they cute in their little antlers? They jingle too, which makes everything so much cuter!)

CUTE! I have a pair of those that I can't wait to get Puff into!
ReplyDeleteOOH! I know what Trent wants - one of those hammer/peg sets. *nods* HE would LOVE it!
Ryan? My guess - anything that plays music/has buttons/lights up should do juuuuuuuust fine. 'Specially if its a remote control, or a cell phone ;)
Chesh, that hammer set is a cute idea! I've already got my shopping done for the boys- this was just in response to getting asked what they want so many times and feeling kind of silly saying "I don't know"
ReplyDeleteAww how cute!!! I agree one of those hammer peg sets. We've thought about getting one for the girls, but I think we'll wait and get it for the new baby when she's a bit older and then ALL can play with it! Flashy things are also a great idea for the little man. ;) Noisy items are perfect too, though not for your brain. hehe..
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! I love the first picture...They look so cute with their paci....
