Hi. I'm looking for ideas for what our new baby can bring for our 3 year old when s/he arrives. He's just had his birthday so has way way more than he could possibly want by way of toys, but I still think it's a good idea that baby arrives with something for him - I just can't think what. Ideas appreciated.
Ours brought a set of books with an electronic reader. She prefers it to audio books as there is the novelty of being able to press the buttons on the reader as she turns the page. In addition it buys me some valuable feeding time for bubs! I've only seen Disney ones though.
Our baby arrived four days before his sister's birthday so the present idea didn't really work! Luckily she was besotted anyway. My brother, when he was born many years ago, brought me a doll's carrycot, so I could join in the fun.
My (then) 3 year old was very into dinosaurs when his baby brother was born, so I bought them a soft toy Triceratops (his favourite) each. He knew he was giving his to his brother as a 'welcome' present, and I put the other one in the hospital crib so that he found it when he came to see me. When he opened it we told him that his baby brother must already love him very much, and they must already have so much in common if they both loved dinosaurs.

I've decided to get a doll - he's going on about helping to look after the baby, so I think it'll be good for him to have one of his own.


We're going to chose a present for him to give the baby, and I like the idea of baby coating the same present for him so that they can be siblings too!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
