So DS has changed his mind a billion lot's of times about what he wants. Usually which Lego thing or Hornby train bits he wants. He has lego and Hornby already so won't be without if he doesn't get more iyswim?
So when deciding what to buy him and trawling the internet I came across miniture remote controlled helicopters recommended for children aged 8 upwards for £35. (DS is 7.4). He really wanted one for his birthday but the ones I could find were recommended for 10+ years so I explained to DS it was a toy for when he was older. He still mentions getting one when he's old enough and gets shiny coins in his advent train from my Mum so can buy some lego in the sales.
Last year and the year before DS only asked for 1 thing and that was all he wanted and never changed his mind so it was easier to buy for him!
His letter to Santa (final copy!) asked for Hornby track and my mum is getting him some accessories but not track and a digital camera because he loves taking photos and always talks about having a camera when he's older.
So has anyone ever just got something and ignored the 'list' and how did this pan out? Are my visions of a very exited DS opening his 'big boy' toy on Christmas day realistic?!
