Gift basket for Braxton

I've noticed alot of moms on FF who are expecting #2(or more) are getting their child(ren) a gift "from the baby" and letting their child(ren) pick out something for the new baby. I thought that was a great idea and found a neat post on doing gift baskets with several small toys to keep them entertained. So this weekend I crossed that off my checklist! Check out what I got for Braxton:

(Also, thats not the basket I will be using. I'm having a hard time finding one I like that is a decent size so I used an old easter basket as an example of what it WILL look like.) :)



The basket


The toys spread out:

-Dinosaur coloring book
-Elmo book
-Doodle pad (I have no idea what they are called? They use that magnetic stuff & a pen?)
-Ball
-Ninja Turtle (his new favorite thing!)
-Crayons
-Plastic army men
-Thomas the Train toy
-3 cars

Hopefully that will keep him somewhat entertained at the hospital while baby sissy is getting most of the attention.

He also picked out a toy for baby sissy. They're water toys, kinda look like teething toys. I also want him to pick out a stuffed animal for her, like her very first teddy bear or something but I have yet to find any cute stuffed animals around here.

So this is something I must add to my hospital bag list.

Also just a thought-maybe it would be cuter if I used a small back pack with oen of his favorite charactors on it? Then he could carry them around in it and it could also double as his overnight bag when he stays with the grandparents. Just a thought. Let me know your opinions. :)
