What we're thinking for Christmas

Christmas is a whole topic for me because we (parents) come from a different cultural and social backgrounds, so it is kind of a challenge for us to make new Christmas traditions for Teodor as I would like it to be a magic time for him (dad doesn't care that much about it, so it's more or less up to me). But this might be a topic of another post when it will become more actual...now it's on the bottom of my to-do-list.

The presents, on the other hand, make my brain quite busy. We dumped the idea of getting him a play kitchen, contrary to the fact he would probably enjoy it we decided not to buy it because we simply don't have space for it. I guess we would be able to squeeze it somewhere but we recently realized baby no. 2 will need some space, too. We might get him a portable wooden cooker or maybe he can just use a chair as a stove. 

We do not want to over-do it with presents, last year he got 2 and it was just perfectly enough, this year we're thinking of max. 4. A limited amount of presents is quite a pressure because you have to choose carefully. So this is what we're thinking now, the list is not definite yet and probably won't be till the last days before Christmas Eve.

Rocking board

Available at vippa.ee. Seems like a genial toy, you can rock on it, you can sit on it, you can make a slide out of it, you can have it as a bridge for your cars, or a house for your dwarfs...The only con is "do we have enough of space for it?"

Lego Duplo

We have already bought both of these two sets...the question is which one to give him. The other one he'll get for his 2nd birthday. I am pretty sure he would love the figures from the first box and cars from the second one. We'll see where his building skills are heading, if more to concrete stuff, he'll get the first box, if it'll be more arbitrary, then the second one. 

Grimm's

Not sure which one, more probably the sorting bowls...or maybe both? 

Cat Mini Machines Set

This is what his dad wants to get him and that's totally ok, I am pretty sure he's going to love it the most out of all presents, yay for rrrrrrrr :)
