Gift Giving

Soren has two birthday parties to attend this weekend. So we were talking about what types of gifts to bring his friends. In December when he selected a gift for his friend Ella I had a hard time steering him away from the trains and monster trucks. Not that girls couldn't be into monster trucks...but it was pretty clear that the interest in those presents was from Soren, not Ella.

Me: So, what should you bring for Oona?

Soren: Well, she's really into princesses. So I think we should get something with princesses.

He went on to describe the dress up clothes that he wants to make for Oona. He has a very clear picture of what defines princess stuff, short sleeves is apparently a requirement.

Me: Ok, that sounds like a good plan. So, what about for Jack?

Soren: Hm, well Jack is really into toilets. He likes to talk about poop a lot. So we should get him something about a toilet.

This one could be a little more complicated.

I guess it is good that he is thinking about what would truly make his friends happy...even if it is toilets.

  1. That is HILARIOUS!! I won't be surprised if my children, especially middle child, gets toilet related gifts someday. I'm very impressed at Soren's thoughtfulness!

  2. That's awesome. I know a five-year old boy that would be over the moon if he got fake poop for a gift.
