The birthdays of my children are looming. Annabella's 4th is April 7th and Milo and Huck's 2nd is April 14th. I keep having ideas for gifts that I immediately forget, so I thought I'd record them here and then also ask for suggestions. I don't think they've found this blog yet and as far as I know they can't read, so it's up to you to keep the secret. Ideas for Annabella Annabella is obsessed with princesses, especially the Disney kind. I won't use this as an opportunity to spout off on a Disney marketing rant, but if you're interested, feel free to e-mail me and we can discuss. What I will say that I would rather her dress up in generic princess costumes that she's pieced together herself than the plastic licensed kind. The trouble is I haven't found those pieces. For Christmas we got Annabella a CD player for her room. She's fascinated with the The Nutcracker CD, so I'm thinking another classical CD might be a good gift. If I'm to have a fighting chance of getting her to choose Hilary Hahn
over Hannah Montana
, I've got to start early. I'm also thinking of getting her a pair of pink crocs
and wondering if she's too young for The Spiderwick Chronicles
. Ideas for Milo Milo is obsessed with our vacuum cleaner. The son of a friend of mine has a similar infactuation, so her in-laws asked if they could get him a toy vacuum cleaner
. She suggested getting him a dust buster
, so at least he could make himself useful. Ideas for Huck When I was on The Screen Savers I had to wear make-up every day. They even bought me some fancy Mac make-up brushes that I had never used before and have never used since. Huck found one tucked away in a drawer about a year ago and it has been his favorite toy ever since. Is it crazy to get a 2 year old a real paint brush and real (washable, non-toxic) paints? Group Gift ideas If you have enough children to fill a picnic table
, you might as well get one, right? Milo and Huck (and in the past Annabella) could probably occupy themselves all day as long as they had grapes and their copy of Cars and Trucks and Things That Go
by Richard Scarry. I'm thinking of getting another Richard Scarry, but I can't decide between Biggest Word Book Ever
, Busy, Busy Town
, and What People Do All Day
. I'm also seriously considering this magnetic responsibilities chart
recommended by the fabulous folks at Parent Hacks. Milo and Huck are all about the blanket tent, but they get really frustrated when the blanket falls down and the can't get it back up. I saw the Fortamajig recommended at Thingamababy. It uses velcro to attach the blanket to chairs and tables. I'm on the fence about this one and I cannot tell you if it's because I think kids ought to be frustrated with things and figure out their own way to fix them or because it's $60. Any other suggestions?

The first birthday of the baby - an event very important, and it requires very careful preparation. By tradition, the climax of the celebration - a birthday man windblown candles on the cake. This is where parents and waiting for the main difficulty. Kid can not respond to a burning candle, and even worse - frightened. To a significant event has pleased the baby and all the assembled guests, we recommend you do the following: about a month before the birthday, start to teach a child to a candle flame. Together with him light the flame, show how easy and fun it can extinguish. Usually, kids really like this lesson, and soon they will be happy to blow out the candle. After a month of fruitful exercise, the chances of a brilliant performance in the crucial moment is very high!

It's really not fair to list this one because the site I'm referring to is still in development. It should launch in the next few weeks. I list it because it's going to be very "top 5" worthy when it launches.

Even if the individual develops the same symptoms or health conditions that their parents or other family members had...chances are, if it is a degenerative condition...

The other day my child wanted to make a project. As a Dad it was my duty to help him out in his project. But when he told me the topic, I was so moved by it, because your name popped in my mind immediately and within no time the project could be completed. Thank you for your articles!!! You are good.

This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses.
