-- Christmas Gift Ideas?

Last year someone suggested the Leapster and we got that for Hunter. It was one of the best gifts we've ever gotten him. He still plays it each night before bed. So... I'm wondering if you all have any suggestions for this year?

Thanks,

Ok I have another gift question. It seems that who went to the circus on Sat nite is totally excited about the girl that gets shot out of the cannon. She starts counting down 5,4,3,2,1 and then starts shaking her hands and legs like a total wacko. This has been going on for years. By this age there is nothing to buy her that she likes....autism makes that a tricky thing. So I'm thinking how about one of those rocket things (unless I can buy the actual circus cannon and shoot her out of it...hehe just kidding) that kids can blast off? Those of you with young boys should have some experience with this. I really don't want to get the ones that zoom up 200 or 300 feet; I'm thinking more along the lines of a safe nerf type thing that could be used in the house. Is there such a thing?

How about one of those fly dancing dolls instead? I can't remember exactly what they are called - maybe it's sky dancers?

You shoot them off and they fly off.

Faith has a tiny cannon that shoots a cannon ball across the room, it came in a Lego pirate set (just the pirate and the cannon)

-There is a blast pad toy--you can get it at hearthsong. They get

to jump on an air filled pad and launch the rockets. My nephews

love it.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas!! I'll probably try them all. I found the lego cannon on ebay.

Hey ette you're in Florida....you have Publix up there right? I just got the Publix Thanksgiving pilgrim set of salt shakers from Publix; it's their last year to sell them and I am so thrilled. Why am I such an idiot??? It's wonderful to take joy in such frivolous things. I guess i'm not so different than .
