Holidayshopping

As the holidays approach the toy ads on tv and in the papers begin to increase, as does the "want" for each and every toy.  I really enjoyed the first 3 Christmases as he was too young to really understand what commercials and advertisements were all about, but Not this year.  Anytime he sees an ad for a toy on TV it's "Momma, Can have that?"  or "Momma, do you think you could bye me that?"  I have to tell him very carefully that at Christmas he will probably get some toys but he can't have them all or he would have nothing left for is Birthday or next Christmas.  At least most of the things he is interested in are still pretty little, he has not entered the phase of electronics or video games.  Now I just have to start making a list (and checking it twice) of all things he likes.

I do luck out with having a lot a of Family that truly enjoys spoiling him, so I make a list then I give a few ideas to each member of the family I also make sure that he doesn't get all toys and clothes and that there are a few educational games or books included in the mess of toys.

I hope that everyone is gearing up as the Holidays are approaching faster than ever, and it's time to be prepared for the madness that goes along with it.
