    i dont think there is such a thing as too much. if you want to spoil your little one then you should and no one can tell you otherwise. What you bought sounds great and i bet your little one will be so excited

    some of what you bought, as much as you're making it for his birthday, is stuff you would have gotten anyway. he needs a bed - no way around that one! to keep your house in some semblance of order (yeah right!) you got a toy box. yes, you've chosen a theme and probably spent a bit more because of the theme, BUT, it's stuff you would have gotten anyway - take that $280 out of the equation and you've really not spent much at all.

    like LZ, a lot of things DD needs won't be given to her for her bday - she'll ge them as she needs them - so we may spend more through the year and less at her bday
