First of all, let me apologize for the totally lame effort at posting yesterday. While the bowl schedule is useful to have at my fingertips (without cluttering up my bookmarks with links that will be obsolete in a month), I should not have been so lazy.

Actually, I planned to post a video of the Stella scooter I'm hoping to purchase this year, but I got distracted in my search by other videos of scooter crashes, panda attacks, and people farting. Isn't youtube a fascinating meeting place of all things base and disturbing (and therefore grossly funny)? (Update: more Stella news and even more. Guess what color I want.)

Anyhow, last night, we finally initiated our Christmas shopping. Pop and T had the kids, so we were free to shop for Halleigh, and we got some other gift ideas for the sibs, which made the search a little easier.

We kept running into a problem though: what would we get Beau that Halleigh doesn't already have. I mean, we can get him some clothes, but we kept seeing toys that are already available at home. Blocks? Got some. Shape-sorter? Got it. Bath toys? Got those too. Books? Sooo many. etc. etc. etc. We can always buy new and different varieties, but it's hard to find stuff that isn't really similar to what we already have.

Have other parents of multiple kids run into the same issue?
