I feel like they're actually pretty good for fine motor skills/hand-eye coordination/spatial reasoning, so I went along with it. But inevitably the purchaser of said car turns around and says: "We really need a drone." And then something like this happens: <a href="http://ardrone2.parrot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://ardrone2.parrot.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-buy-toys-for-lo-that-are-really-for-himher#post-1208310 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:04:23 +0000 littlek 1208310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: DH told me the other day "B needs his own remote control." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-buy-toys-for-lo-that-are-really-for-himher#post-1208275 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:48:07 +0000 leelee 1208275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All.the.time!

I tend to be the one to buy stuff for DD that I think is cool :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-buy-toys-for-lo-that-are-really-for-himher#post-1208248 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:41:18 +0000 Alivoo01 1208248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um. YES!!! Hubby recently bought a Supra. It's always been his dream car, but he said he'll hand it down to DS as his first car when he turns 16.... DS is currently 4 months old. Yea.....

He has justified several remote control contraptions (!?!) and a couple other random purchases by claiming that they're "for LO." I try to look at the upside: LO loves watching my husband play with "his" toys, and it keeps them both occupied and out of my hair for a while, so.... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-buy-toys-for-lo-that-are-really-for-himher#post-1208012 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:15:46 +0000 littlek 1208012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: We had to walk down the lego aisle too. Luckily we have a TON of duplos so DH had a hard time convincing me we need those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-buy-toys-for-lo-that-are-really-for-himher#post-1208007 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:14:57 +0000 littlek 1208007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: hahahaha not hockey for us but baseball and soccer...

When my husband comes Christmas shopping with me he loves picking out the toys, especially for rough and tumble boys. Legos will never be scarce in our house- even when they are still a choking hazard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-buy-toys-for-lo-that-are-really-for-himher#post-1207968 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:00:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1207968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he will end up doing so! He keeps wanting buy him a train set but I told him that he is still a tad young (based on how he plays with his cousins train set)<br /> But DH is just so excited to build trains with<br /> Him! Haha. Same with Legos- he cannot wait to do those but J doesn't have the fine motor skills for them yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-buy-toys-for-lo-that-are-really-for-himher#post-1207962 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 08:57:17 +0000 twodoghouse 1207962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: That truck IS pretty darn cute! I bet B looks adorable in it!</p> <p>My husband can't wait until our babies (which still have 6 months of cooking, by the way!) can play with Legos. He always wants to look at the Lego aisle when we're at Target. I told him that Legos are YEARS down the line for our LOs, but he's still got to go check it all out. So I do worry about that eventually, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-buy-toys-for-lo-that-are-really-for-himher#post-1207957 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 08:54:14 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1207957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I do.

He's so bad about it with our son. Baseball cards, video games, action figures. He says he's living vicariously though our son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-buy-toys-for-lo-that-are-really-for-himher#post-1207927 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 08:42:48 +0000 littlek 1207927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Toys R Us and my husband insisted on buying this for LO.
