Jr. has a birthday coming up and so my mind has already begun aging him to be a full-fledge 7. He’s now in this in between stage of “almost 7″. I find that I’m aging him when I talk and I’m wondering what will celebrate this birthday for him. Our idea list is slim. And some of my ideas will end up being Christmas presents as I sit and shuffle things around.

Idea #1 – Walkie Talkies. Good idea but this would actually work as a bigger gift for both of the boys at Christmas. Mental note to shift this to the Christmas list.

Idea #2 – Microscope. Awesome idea but Yikes the prices. Entertain a conversation with Grandpa about maybe going into together on this together the next time the group buy comes. Great plan but that means this will be much, much closer to Christmas.

Idea #3 – good chess set – only problem with this idea is that we just picked up a dinosaur checkers set that Jr. figured out will also work as DINO CHESS. Shot in the foot by my own self!

Gah! Anybody have some good ideas for a 7 year old’s birthday present?
