I am having a little bit of a hard time with Olivia's Christmas gift ideas. She is ever changing in her interests and I am having a hard time keeping up! She has entire drawer full of barbies, polly pockets, etc that we aren't really playing with right now. An entire drawer of dress-up princess stuff, some of which is new from her birthday. She dresses up now mainly when she has friends over. She hasn't played with her Little Tykes kitchen in ages, so I volunteered to give it to a family at church for their little girl, and then yesterday Olivia asked for a grocery cart and groceries! ugh! She is really into crafts right now, making something all day long. So lots of markers and paper will do just fine. However, my big ebay find for her was a big lot of princess stuff, puzzles, books, pretend make-up, and some other things for $10 plus shipping. I wanted to wrap everything up separately and it would be 8 gifts! So hopefully she will be into princess stuff in 2 weeks, we will see! The other things on her list includes: a magnifying glass, camera, and stickers. Wonderful and totally random.
Logan is much easier at this stage, cars, trucks, trains, balls. Easy.
Is anyone else finding it hard to keep up with their childs current interest?

Stacey, one thing that my kids always love is Perler beads. AND they last forever. They are the beads that are pretty small and you put them on a shape with pegs on it. Then you put a special paper on top of it and iron it. They melt together and wa-la! You have an ornament, magnet, whatever! They are not that expensive, always fun to do, and GREAT for fine motor skills!
Stacey, I am totally in the same boat with Parker. For 5 yrs. Jacob was the only child and grandchild on my husbands side so he got every toy and gadget known to man so now that Parker is here he gets all of Jacob's old toys that are still in very good condition. So, what do you buy a 2 yr. who has more toys than what he can play with? Good thing he is too young realize that he isn't getting much this year.
My "problem" is that Lydia can not think of anything she wants. She actually told me that she had everything she needed. I am thankful for her attitude, but it does make gift giving a little tricky.
