gift ideas for older child from baby? - Page 2

post #21 of 23
When Travis was born Kincaid was 3 1/2 and Janelle was almost 5. He got both a rosy cheeks north american bear company doll and got Kincaid a stroller and Janelle a sling for the dolls... This was a great gift for Kincaid (all of it, the sling as well) but Janelle has never been a doll kid, so she only played with it a couple times.

When River was born Travis was (is) 20 months old, Kincaid 5 years and Janelle 6 1/2. He got Travis a little kiddie lap top...dh had to work at home the last few months while I was on bedrest, and Travis REALLY fell in love with dh's lap top, he got Janelle a polaroid digital camera(target had these 75% off so they were $56...had it not been for that she would of got the same camera, but 5 megapixel, which is regularly $60) and Kincaid a kiddie digital camera. Since we knew we'd be taking a million pictures we thought they'd like to as well...the LOVE these!

I wish I had a good suggestion for your three year old, but I'm afraid I'm not sure what would be appropriate for her or what she would like, since I haven't had a three year old of my own yet...

I hate this! My grandma did it for her kids, so my mom did it for us, and since we don't do it, my mom and grandma both send my kids all a present for each other's birthdays. Not a big enough deal for me to cause a family fight over it, but it bugs me!

Yea, when travis was born they were much more interested in Travis than in presents...so with River we waited till the day we were discharged.
