What to get for the child of someone you dislike
December 29, 2007That would be… a saxoflute. I’m just saying.
Lots of other lovely gifts and family time, though. I even got not one, but two of the laptop lunchboxes I have been coveting since Moxie wrote about them. The extra is going to my sister who is passing on the most unbelievable Thomas set you ever did see in a private home… now we just have to find a place to put it. I’m grateful that we have a teeny tiny playroom because it kind of keeps things from getting out of control.
I’m also not too sorry to see the back end of two months straight of presents for Gatito. Starting with his birthday on November 2 and including a variety of celebrations for both Christmas and Chanukah, we worked out that he received presents on at least 14 days out of the past seven weeks. Many, many, many of the gifts, probably more than half, were books, which is nice for us, too, to have something new to read, but still.
Lots of stuff to write about, but the first post after a long-ish break is always the toughest. Back soon. And if I don’t talk to you before… happy new year!
Umm, yeah. The saxoflute kicks ass! That was the first Christmas present I bought for my son and he loves it with the passion of Gollum chasing his ring.
