Don't call me baby
Aug. 7th, 2008 08:29 pmI require some assistance from the baby-aware among you, please. In a couple of weeks a sprog for whom I ought to buy a birthday present will be one. What does one give a one year old ? A boy, though I suspect that's not that relevant.
A while ago I happened on a craft stall selling nice wooden puzzles, and bought a brightly coloured, chunky jigsaw in the shape of a sealion. It has, I think, seven or eight pieces. Unfortunately, I'm now wondering whether perhaps that might be too babyish. Is he likely to be beyond it already ? What I know about the developmental stages of children could be written in quite large letters on a postage stamp.
So, er, any ideas ? If you were one year old, what would you want ? If you had a one year old, what would you want other people to give to it ?
