Wow. That's pretty amazing. I wouldn't have thought you would entertain such an idea when you don't yet know where your child's interests lie! They might HATE horses!! Personally I'd prefer to let Jacob find his own interests rather than have mine forced on him, but obviously things that I am interested in are things that are talked about in the house and he is therefore more likely to experience IYKWIM (so I know where you're coming from there Dachlostar).

I agree with you too Jillian - personally I don't like the idea very much of giving money as a gift as everybody gives different amounts and it ultimately can feel a little bit uncomfortable for the gift-giver!!
