Toddler Boy Gift Guide

Shopping for a little boy can be hard. Clothing wise, there is just so much more for little girls. Toy wise, there are so many electronic things now that it can be hard to separate from it. 

For Leighton's Christmas presents this year, we wanted to stick to educational things, toys and animals that he really loves, books and clothes. We didn't quite hit the 4 present - want, need, wear, read - ideal, but each of the things we got him fall in one of those categories. Of all the stuff we got him, we only have one electronic (technically) item, but it is something that he is going to be able to grow with and use in the car on our trips. 

This gift guide is a mix of things we actually got, things our family gifted or things we thought about getting for Leighton this year.

Leighton Turns TWO!

Is it just me, or is parenthood a constant roller coaster of hypocritical thoughts?

Hear me out. Last week, we got a note from Leighton's daycare saying that as long as we were comfortable with it, they were okay with him starting to wear underwear during the day instead of diapers. UNDERWEAR. Not pull-ups, underwear. I had such conflicting emotions about this. On one hand I was incredibly proud that my almost two-year-old was making it through the day without wetting his diaper. On the other hand, I couldn't believe that we were having this conversation before my baby turned two.
