Tanya, I don't think it's too old for them at all. When Thomas arrived, he brought a present for Jack which was one of those magnetic sketchers. He loves it and uses it all the time.

I agree with you all, we have the same thing with Jack. With 5 grandparents he gets way too many clothes and toys. He has 30 t-shirts in his current size and enough toys to fill a toy shop. I mentioned this to everybody this year but guess what - we still got lots of toys. And my MIL who knows he has too many clothes as she bought most of them, bought him more clothes. And a Thomas the Tank Engine Duplo set as well as she didn't think she'd got him enough - WTF!!!! I would really prefer people to put money in his bank account or buy him books or something like that.

Jack's party went pretty well yesterday. Luckily the other mums were really helpful. I had underestimated how hard it would be to entertain, provide food and drinks for adults and kids, and look after two of our own as well. But they all seemed to enjoy themselves so that's the main thing.

Well, today is my first day of not having 2 under 2 anymore and it doesn't seem any easier yet LOL!!
