Do parents really get their kids a gift for Valentine's Day? I don't remember getting gifts from my parents. And my husband say's NO WAY!
But my little guy has been seeing commercials for Valentine's Day (yes, the commercialism has even hit childrens' channels) and recently asked if he could have a new Webkinz pet for Valentine's Day. He asked Santa for a Webkinz bear at Christmas and got it. He loves taking care of "Novela"... virtually and physically. When he leaves her at home, he wants someone to babysit her. When he's home, he wants to play games on-line to earn her clothes and things for her room. In fact, just since I began writing this post, he has come to ask me if HE can get on the computer to go to the Webkinz site.
I don't know if I'll get him another one for Valentine's Day or not. But I'm sure he'll get another one sometime. He is making space in his bear's virtual room for a "friend". It's cute.
The pictures above were taken this weekend. He helped us pick out a Webkinz pet for his cousin's 7th birthday over the weekend. He got her the same one he has... the bear. Before we mailed the gift off to her, we took pictures of his "Novela" and his cousin's "Elizabeth." He says they're twin sisters. He's intrigued with twins since there's a pair of twins in his kindergarten class.
Anyway, I'm interested in hearing your take on Valentine's Day gifts for kids. Yay or Nay?
