I just wanted to first say that I had to take down the reader survey from yesterday because it somehow got spammed?? I didn’t even know that this was possible so that was disappointing. I’m going to do some more research and see if I can post another one soon because I genuinely want to know more about what you guys like reading here.
But today I wanted to share a quick post on what I got Riley for Christmas. As you can see and as we did with Shane, we did something he wants, something he needs, something to wear, and something to read.
So something to know about my boys is that they are joined at the hip. At this age, everything Shane does, Riley wants to do too so because of that I bought him the same “something he wants” gift as Shane. He also needed rain boots just like Shane so they are getting very similar gifts this year.
Dino Smashers – The perfect toy for any 2-6 year old boy. Somehow they are on sale for less than $17?? They are also huge, like over 12 inches and have a ton of toys inside. The boys are going to have so much fun with these.
The Cutest Slippers – I was going back and forth between buying him cute slippers like these and ones that he would prefer like Spiderman ones and I couldn’t resist these. Riley loves wearing shoes so I’m hoping he will love wearing these around the house. Shane had a pair of slippers around this age and wore them all the time so fingers crossed Riley loves these.
Yellow Rain Boots – I really liked these ones because they are shorter than regular rain boots at this size which I thought was really helpful for Riley at this age. I had originally purchased these shark ones but thought Riley would have a hard time walking in them so I got these cute yellow ones instead. They come in so many color options too and are just really adorable.
The Story of God Books – Like I mentioned in Shane’s post, I’m excited to give these to the boys and excited for the conversations they will open up with them over the years about who God is and why they need him.
The gift I am most excited about giving them though is from the show Wild Kratts. The boys have been obsessed with this show lately and pretend they have “creature powers” all the time. I got them the creature power suits and creature power disk sets to match. They are going to completely lose it when they open these gifts because they’ve been trying to find makeshift creature power suits since they started watching the show. I can’t wait to give them these.
I also wasn’t planning on getting them anything else but decided on a whim to get them each a Kiwi Co crate. I used to do these with Shane when he was around Riley’s age and Kiwi Co was having a Black Friday sale and I got each of the crates for $5 so I couldn’t resist. 🤣 I thought it was worth it for $10 total because it be quality time I get to spend with them and they will be learning too so win, win!
If you need any other ideas for a two year old boy, I shared this post a few years ago when Shane was younger. I think I might also share what I got for Melly, although it was only a few small gifts since she’s only 3 months old, haha! Maybe I’ll just include them in my Friday Favorites post tomorrow. Thanks for being here friends!
