Santa is apparently going to bring all the toys. When I tell him Santa just brings 1, it changes every 5 minutes. Most often it is something Thomas or train related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2362031 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 19:14:31 +0000 Corduroy 2362031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO will be 3 in Feb and hasn't made any Christmas requests yet.

My kids are 3 and 5.5. They don't really watch commercials or see catalogs so they're always short on gift ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361873 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 16:20:39 +0000 rattles 2361873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is almost 3. She is uninterested in the toy catalogs, but she keeps telling me that she hopes Santa will bring her a magnifying glass for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361838 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:49:03 +0000 daniellemybelle 2361838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is 2 and doesn't get it yet but I have a feeling as the Christmas season goes on and she gets more of a sense of how it works, she might! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361813 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:36:55 +0000 yoursilverlining 2361813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year (3.5). I've asked LO a bunch of times what she wants Santa to bring her and the answer is always the same: RINGS. :silly: 3 and already demanding (more) jewelry - we're in trouble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361776 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:10:12 +0000 BandDmommy 2361776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He asked Santa for a train and books. I keep asking and he keeps saying "big train". No idea what that means. Books I can take care of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361775 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:09:02 +0000 winniebee 2361775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year....he's asking for EVERYTHING. It's "I wanna buy that" or "can santa bring that?!" He's 3.5 and watches plenty of TV with toy commercials, apparently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361774 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:08:29 +0000 tinyperson 2361774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not yet, and she's almost 3. </p> <p>ETA: That's not quite true, she wants an elephant for Christmas, but I'm not sure exactly what form this elephant is supposed to take! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361770 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:05:14 +0000 BananaPancakes 2361770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year at 2.5 he asked for "big trucks," but nothing specific. This year, at 3.5, he's got a list of very specific items he wants. He asked Santa for 2 of them when we met him this past weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361769 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:04:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2361769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>last year- he was 2! he had a very specific list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361766 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:02:25 +0000 lilyann 2361766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3yr old son said Santa was going to bring him a big, big, big dinosaur...not sure where he got that from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361764 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:01:55 +0000 regberadaisy 2361764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: bahahahahahahahha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-also-when-they-started-asking-for-specific-gifts-for-christmas#post-2361763 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:01:32 +0000 regberadaisy 2361763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: haha that is what I do with my nephews.
