I'm pretty happy with a June birthday 6 months after Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2335689 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:47:34 +0000 reverie 2335689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: I was thinking of stepping up from the "baby" puzzles he has but I am worried about him getting frustrated. How did he take to it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2335685 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:46:28 +0000 reverie 2335685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: I have seen like one or two options at toysrus but they are girl dolls and I wanted a boy but I guess if you're not picky you can find one retail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2335677 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:42:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 2335677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evan was a little younger than 2.5 last Christmas. I think last year we got him a big ABC train floor puzzle., M&amp;D See and Spell set, a couple books and some clothes. </p> <p>This year he's getting Magna-tiles (from his incoming baby sister) and Matchbox cars/carrying case (and books and clothes). And probably something else that I haven't decided on yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2335659 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:26:20 +0000 Adira 2335659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander's really into Thomas the Tank, so we're getting him some of the wooden train tracks and trains for Christmas. Also a Thomas puzzle and some books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2335657 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:24:03 +0000 Silva 2335657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@reverie: oh man, that makes me even more paranoid. The one she has is her favorite, she brings it everywhere, and it so so old. Like it kind of looks like the head might pop off. I'm so worried about what will happen when that thing disintegrates. (She of course all but completely ignores the gorgeous handmade heirloom Waldorf doll that we have....) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2335650 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:20:54 +0000 reverie 2335650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: He is really into halloween now that we did the zoo trick or treat event, I bet a couple of costumes would get a lot of play time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2335648 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:20:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 2335648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She got a kitchen last year (2y3m). This year I think a doll house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2335647 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:20:21 +0000 reverie 2335647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: Have you used cutting food with your LO yet? My son really likes it but it is a little of a pain for me b/c he constantly wants me to put it back together to cut again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2335646 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:19:44 +0000 reverie 2335646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: a wheel barrow sounds cool! I was thinking about a balance bike but seems kind of mean to give it in the dead of winter... I don't know how much fun he'd have with that before his June birthday! Also, You inspired me to look at cabbage patch dolls. I can't find many online! On their official website they want $15 shipping making the doll cost $55! Sadly, that falls into "no way" category for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2334674 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:38:23 +0000 Silva 2334674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been going back and forth. I'm definitely getting her a ring sling for her babies. Probably some art supplies, and some cool block sets (like mirrored ones or castle ones). I think we've decided to wait until maybe her birthday to do the dollhouse, but I might get her some people for it now, because I think she'd like using them with her cars, blocks, farm, etc.<br /> maybe more stuff for her train set?<br /> Also planning to get her a wheelbarrow in the spring, for outside play. And at some point in the next year I will probably get her a new doll. She currently plays with my two dolls from when i was little, and one of them (a cabbage patch doll from 1985) is in rough shape.</p> <p>And books! Whenever I ask what she wants, that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2334432 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 18:18:47 +0000 fancyfunction 2334432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is just turning 3 in dec and I'm getting some more play food for her kitchen. She's had it since her 2nd bday and still plays with it everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2334393 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 17:32:45 +0000 sslm 2334393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 2.5 and I'm thinking of an art easel or a dress up chest full of costumes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-that-celebrate-winter-holidays-with-presents#post-2334365 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 16:59:31 +0000 reverie 2334365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your go to toy this year... my son is going to be 2.5 for Christmas and I'm hoping that he will "get it".
