Recently, my best friend's son turned one year old..

A gala event was planned with balloons, a birthday cake and a bunch of gifts.

And then the most interesting thing began... As a mother of a four-year-old child, I immediately formed a “standard” list of necessary things in my head that kids will definitely like and help their parents optimize their child’s daily life.

The first thing that came to my mind was:.

• Sledge (winter is about to start in the yard);

• Tent or labyrinth.

• "

• A big car (my child drove this car 2 times in two years... the rest of the time, I carried it in my hands after the baby, but not all children are the same);

•Attributes for bathing (toys in the bathroom, or special chalk that draws on the tile and then washed off with water);

• Orthopedic massage mat;

• A musical instrument (I really wanted to “thank” my friend for the pink battery-powered guitar that she gave my baby for last New Year. The little one adored her so much that she even went to bed with her and it was impossible to tear her out of the hands of a child.. These were the loudest 2 months of my life... it even started to seem that I began to hear worse in one ear);

• An educational toy (well, there are many options here, you should go to any store).

Armed with the list, I called my friend and heard that she had already ordered all these things to other relatives and friends.. It was at this moment that I started to panic:)) I hate to give children money or certificates to shops (this is the same money, only in a different form). As my husband says, \! It's boring! She has no pleasure from your money! Children love toys and candies!

It was necessary to look for alternative options, and there were fewer and fewer of them:.

•Jewellery fell off immediately, because for the boy's birthday - this is not a very \;

• A silver spoon, the godfather gave the little one, etc.. There are very few options left that I began to think about out of desperation:.

•Certificate for a nominal tree in g. Kyiv;

•"

Well, you understand how desperate I got))) And my story ended quite successfully - I gave the son of my best friend the first professional photo session for her baby... It seems that everyone was satisfied) Author: Breus Nadezhda, administrator of the branches of the family center "
