Ho ho ho - Merry Blogmas |
| We have bought all of Theia’s presents – apart from maybe a few stocking fillers; I mean what do you get a baby as stocking fillers? My mum always use to put a toothbrush in our stockings so I’ve bought Theia her first one, and a tube of baby toothpaste – she has to look after those two front, bottom teeth. I’ve bought her a pack of dummies, and a flashing bath fish toy, and of course some bubble bath… On the whole, we’ve tried NOT to go too mad and spend too much. I think we’ve succeeded. Maybe. I know she’ll get lots of presents from everyone else as well. My sister is Christmas mad. My mum too. There are bags of stuff in my wardrobe, and in Guy’s. Who knows where we’re going to hide it all next year when she’ll know about Santa. I may have to re-think what’s under the bed. I like the idea that you only need to buy four things – I read this somewhere once and love it:  Something they want Something they need Something to wear Something to readWell, we have all this covered, apart from the want. She doesn’t WANT anything. She doesn’t know what it means. We’ve bought her some clothes, some toys, and some books, and as she likes music and dancing (wiggling) we’ve got her some Disney tunes as well. To be honest I know she will be more interested in the wrapping paper and boxes than the presents, but hopefully she’ll enjoy the toys too. There are a few things we want to start as traditions, like:  adopting an animal each year for her - I like the idea of a seeing-eye dog, or maybe a penguin, or tiger.  building a bear – this year it’s a blue reindeer called Tinsel new PJs and slippers for the Christmas Eve box; as she gets older there will be a Christmas movie for her as well, and some hot chocolate, maybe even a mug.Guy and I have set a budget… I’m not sure why we ever do this as we NEVER stick to it. The idea is that we don’t go over board and that Theia learns that Christmas isn’t all about mountains of presents. Merry Blogmas  |
