Lol @ crisgal!
Bet your daughter'll be delighted though, and that's what counts.
Oldgrape - I never realised that son's 2 already!! Whatever, even if he was 4, a child of that age likes to play with something that's bright and colourful, moves, makes a noise - or whatever. Most toys are geared for a certain age group these days, and it's no good trying to force a child into accepting something which you feel's babyish - because they ARE still mere babies at that age, and even the stuff that seems rubbish can be educationally stimulating. it doesn't always appear that way, but when my children were a few years younger, I went on a course to do with "play". I was horified at what I saw as some very useless toys being suggested as appropriate for certain age groups, but then went into it further, and realised that even the very materials used in some of them, are there for a purpose. If you read regularly to your son, and encourage him to share books with you, as well as letting him have some of the more "rubbishy" bits, I'm sure he'll grow up just as you want him to. x
