I find boys so easy! So much easier than girls. DS (just turned 3, acts like a 2yo!) is getting heaps of "Cars" merchandise. Mainly a lot of the race cars from the 1st movie (got them off Ebay). As they grow there is so much 'construction' type toys, for all ages (blocks, duplo, lego, mecano, etc). Girls are either barbies, babies or play kitchens!

Dinosaur play set, dinosaur puzzle, dinosaur books. It's a bit of a theme. He's also getting a few other things including a backpack for daycare (he starts next year) and a leapfrog phonics fridge magnet set. Oh and a fisher price little people wheelies race track.

My dS turns 2 on the 23rd so for his birthday, he's getting a scooter and for Christmas we are giving him a 'Wheelie Bug' to ride around the house. We will also give him a few cars & trucks. The big kids are getting a trampoline so it will be considered his too!
