They have isles and isles of crafts for kids. My kids LOVE all those things in there. Now when my kids get invited to b-day parties we buy them crafts. It forces the parents to do stuff with their kids. I'v noticed that at b-day parties kids get way too many inappropriate gifts. like transformers, and those monsters that are like lego, but different. Jonathon got stuff at his party that I don't let him play with. I would have returned it to the store but i had to hurry off to work before the party was done, and when i got home he had the pkg opened. So it's a waste of money. By buying crafts, it allows for parent and child interaction. Jonathon got finger paints for christmas from someone, and we've had hours of fun with it. I think for christmas I'll get him a model car and a digital camera. He's a really good photographer. And for my girls I'll get them a karaoke machine. Tyrese,the little people garage. Got it all figured out. now for the $$$...Jo-Refohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01964839447180660782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477361393239811606.post-67203518036769353422008-08-15T19:45:00.000-05:002008-08-15T19:45:00.000-05:00Sorry I can't help you with your delemma. i'm all ...Sorry I can't help you with your delemma. i'm all for the no tv thing. especially with such little ones. Tyrese is almost 2 and has no interest in tv whatsoever. It's to 'slow' for him. he wants to move and explore and wreck stuff. Eden doesn't care much for tv either. she would much rather have picnics with her teddy bears and play school with them. Jonathon is a totally different story. He would watch tv from 7am till 10pm if I would let him. I have to be more careful with that. but good goal to have. In those first few years where they learn so fast, why put the tv in charge of teaching them? bad idea.Jo-Refohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01964839447180660782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477361393239811606.post-6490913993613668552008-08-15T09:38:00.000-05:002008-08-15T09:38:00.000-05:00Hey, no tv is a good thing.

Like hard core. look at their houses. do they smoke, have pets, have a busy schedule, feed them from their food. You have to be picky. Andrew's first sister works at the Super store she said she just couldn't make sitting a go. No wonder. Anyway my advice be fussy. He's your kid.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349971673740881193noreply@blogger.com
