With that said, how about having her pick a few older toys to donate to someone without. Thinking of the needs of others often helps us all stay grounded. Sounds like you have great kids!Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08008273616818791267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099990.post-40629335847390350292012-01-23T11:05:20.953-05:002012-01-23T11:05:20.953-05:00We've felt the same.

Our son, who has a birthday coming up soon, asked if he could have a little party with 2-3 friends so that he can get a specific Lego set (the Black Pearl ship!). It was good to see him make the correlation that there is only a finite amount of money to be spent on the birthday and he prioritized accordingly. It was also good to see him want to spend time with a few of his closest friends as his "party" which, we feel, is far better than being indulged with gifts he'll only use a few times at most. Apparently they do pay attention to the messages you send them periodically. :)estormshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04247150292904208184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099990.post-4452305283485596512012-01-23T09:15:57.535-05:002012-01-23T09:15:57.535-05:00I had no idea a 5 year old even new what a manicur...I had no idea a 5 year old even new what a manicure and pedicure was to even want to have them.Johnnoreply@blogger.com
