Can you help my buy Christmas presents for my children?

I am a mommy of four children--their ages are as follows:


2 years, 4 months %26amp; 2 days (Tessa)


3 months and 24 days (Lily)


4 months and 9 days (John)


15 days (Ella)





Tessa (my two year old) has quite a list so I%26#039;m pretty set for her. My other children obviously cannot make a list and so I%26#039;m pretty stuck on what to get for them. Do you have any suggestions?


Thank you!

You might get Ella one of those cuddly blankets with a stuffed animal head. It%26#039;s sort of like a My First Bunny/Bear/Whatever-You-Like but because it%26#039;s also a blanket, she%26#039;ll be able to hug it at a very young age.





I%26#039;m guessing that John %26amp; Lily would be content with some very simple toys - rattles, teethers - but you might also try bath toys. My son got two bath puppets/mitts when he was just a few weeks old, and they%26#039;ve been favorites for all three years ... and counting!





There%26#039;s also the Leapfrog Learning Drum. There%26#039;s a version at Kmart for $20 - my son has an older model.

It%26#039;s rec%26#039;d for 6 months and up, but as soon as they can hit it, John and Lily will like being able to make the drum react. The alphabet/counting features will be lost on them %26#039;til they%26#039;re a bit older, of course, but any toy that is fun for more than a few months is, in my book, a great choice.





You might also try to find the Kushies Stackrobats. They%26#039;re soft figures with magnets in them, so they can be stacked and linked together. They%26#039;re rated for ages one and up, but again, you%26#039;ll get a lot of playing time out of them.

Good luck! Christmas shopping for wee ones is a challenge. :)
Reply:The young babies don%26#039;t need anything for Christmas, they don%26#039;t know what is going on. You can go to the Dollar store for the two year old. Good luck
Reply:The littler the child, I say the easier the gifts are. Because your last 3 are under 1. get them soft plush animals or clothes. They don%26#039;t need anything more than that because they really cannot enjoy them.
Reply:Sounds like you have your hands full. How about just some rattles, soft stuffed animals, clothes for the babies. I think it%26#039;s great that you are able to give these children homes!
Reply:aww i bet little ella is adorable...but because of the very young age im doubting there is much they would be able to play with...a warm little outfit for winter or a colorful baby blankie seems like it would be a good idea...or one of those little things that hangs above cribs that you wind up and it plays music and spins to lull them to sleep.
Reply:How can you have a 3 month old and a 4 month old and a 15 day old? or is this a typo with the ages?





I just asked a question? There is no need to send a rude e-mail to me.





Here was this girls message to me:





From: ♪♫Noelle©





Subject: Think before you speak!





Message: TWO OF MY CHILDREN WERE ADOPTED.


Think before you speak.


It%26#039;s not %26quot;impossible%26quot;.

Ok so why did you not state that. No, sorry I cannot help.
Reply:For the 4 month old, i would suggest somethingn with lights and movement. try some Baby einstein things. That also leaves %26quot;growing room%26quot; for the younger ones. So you won%26#039;t have to re-buy later. The younger ones I would go for a stuffed toy or something like that. For your 15 day old, tey to see at Wal-Mart if they have the bears that have %26quot;sounds of the womb%26quot; it might help make her tansition a little easier, as well as a keeper as she rows into toddler years. Hope this helped!
Reply:Shiny objects, and ones that are too big to swallow, and NOT made in China. If it makes them happy, well, bullseye! :)


A 15-day old needs no gifts. Life is still a lot of wonderment for them, so that%26#039;s gift enough.
Reply:i don%26#039;t know why everyone is asking why you have children you cant afford..you never said you couldn%26#039;t afford them..i think people she is asking ideas for what to buy them not saying she cant afford it..with that being said they are so young my sons 1st Xmas he was a month old we got him rattles and stuffed toys and baby bottles things he could use and would need good luck
Reply:I am person that feels if you can not afford to buy them presents it will not kill them.. We have more important things to buy them during the year then to worry about one day out of the year like christmas..





They are young and will not even know the differenceof one or two days with out you getting them something..
Reply:Why would you adopt children you cannot afford to support?





Anyway if you%26#039;ll do something nice for Santa then Santa will do something nice for your kids (Nod, Nod, Wink, Wink)
Reply:you can try teething toys, dolls, if you%26#039;re an animal lover, how about a puppy to also keep them company?
Reply:a stuffed animal
Reply:Good On You - u must be having such a hectic life right now!! I applaud u - cos i have twins and that%26#039;s hard enough - let alone 4 so young!.


Anyway for your 3 youngest buy them a few developmental toys. These kind of toys have age groups on them, so it wont be hard to tell if they%26#039;ll be OK for your babies.
Reply:ok... is it just me.. or does everyone else get this... you can%26#039;t have four children at those ages... one kid is 3 months old, and another 4 months old.. and another 15 days old.. did you have speed pregnancies???








i would say buy yourself some medical attention!!!
Reply:too many kids too close together...





I cannot imagine any qualtiy adoption place allowing you to have 2 kids when your kids are all that close





experts suggest waiting until your first is 2 yrs old before even planing another kid (meaning your first would be 3 by the time you have the next kid)





its unfair to each child because they wont get the time with you they need..





the 3 youngest dont need presents as they cannot unwrap stuff anyhow - just clothes is all... think of the planet - less junk you buy now means a better planet for them when they are older..... thats my best suggestion - hope you take it!
Reply:why would you adopt 2 children when you already have two that you can%26#039;t afford to buy christmas presents for. I thought you had to be financially stable to adopt. Also it is hard enough to adopt one baby let alone two. I smell a TROLL
