I have just taken delivery of DSs only xmas pressie from us this year. As he's only 5 months old I've decided that today is Christmas Day and I am going to spend the next hour or so, before his Dr.s appt putting together a 'Jumparoo'.
He loves to 'stand' (on me or Dad) and bounce, but at 18lb now it's getting harder to hold him up (and he hurts), so it looks just the ticket.
He'd better like it, I nearly collapsed when I saw the bleedin' price!

Haven't got a clue what I'm getting DDs yet. I might get some old clothes from a second hand shop as they like dressing up.

Well, after a bit of a shaky start Gabriel is now glad that santa visited early and loves his jumparoo !

DS1 (almost 5) has rated most advertised toys as too babyish or too girlyish. He's been pestering for a Puzzleball, though (and is getting one) and is also getting an optics set, some Top Gear books, a robot money box and the handknitted sweater he's been pestering for. MIL is getting him some games like Elefun and ludo to help with turn taking (OK, so we chose them!)He's officially got a weighted blanket for his b'day, next month, but he's getting Junior Scrabble to open on the day.

DS2 (2.5) probably couldn't give a hoot, but is getting lots of train related stuff (Brio set, personalised train, dress up clothes) for Christmas - plus yet another handknit sweater. These boys are eating into my knitting for myself time !!!

lourobert, our boys have a spa mat and DS1 loves it. D2 isn't sure what to make of it!
