They are gold and have a nameplate on them you can have engraved. If you like, I can look for a pic and send it...I've seen many lil boys wearing those around here.~Diamond~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11973836869139369164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-18857468374684200582008-07-23T22:12:00.000-05:002008-07-23T22:12:00.000-05:00I have also heard that "Bringing up Boys" is a gre...I have also heard that "Bringing up Boys" is a great book, but I haven't read it. I should. <BR/><BR/>For a boy-gift idea...I don't know of how much value it would be, but have you heard of the "Dangerous Book for Boys"? It could be something they use throughout their childhood years, and someday pass on to their own children. That was the first thing that popped in my head :)yoismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255116085199171062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-82427704778955769052008-07-23T15:25:00.000-05:002008-07-23T15:25:00.000-05:00First boy gifts...

It was the only thing that he still had from his Daddy and he cherished it greatly. I know, pocket knives are NOT for small boys, but bigger, more responsible boys would think they were great. Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>My Mom read a book called "Bringing up Boys" and she loved it, but I haven't read any parenting books yet. Bad mommy!<BR/><BR/>And how awkward would it be if I saw my OBGYN out? Ugh! I couldn't imagine... He's tall, handsome and blue eyed. Just the kind of guy you wouldn't want as your OB. But he's super nice and maybe it wouldn't be as awkward as I think it would.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076355886344424301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-31197031564275028792008-07-22T21:57:00.000-05:002008-07-22T21:57:00.000-05:00Jessica and Meagan - those stories are so funny!! ...Jessica and Meagan - those stories are so funny!! :)Jessica Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152327170331184368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-75666818968222691252008-07-22T21:54:00.000-05:002008-07-22T21:54:00.000-05:00Ha! try being on the other side of awkward... my d...Ha! try being on the other side of awkward... my dad is a doctor, and back when I was young and he did OB, random people would come up to my innocent, impressionable siblings and me in the grocery store and announce to the world at large "Your dad delivered this baby!"<BR/><BR/>Yeah thanks, lady.

It was awkward at first but the place was packed and they seated us right next to him. It all turned out ok. <BR/><BR/>I think I read "What to expect in the toddler years" or something like that, but to be honest, having had 4 different toddlers, the best thing to do is to trust your gut. Each kid is so different and even if you do the same things with them, they turn out differently. What works with one will not work with another. Your mommy gut is the best parenting tool you have!<BR/><BR/>Boys gifts are hard. We didn't really have any baby gifts like that, but I remember a big difference between the girls and my son when it came time for their First Communions. The girls had beautiful dresses and veils to keep and my son had a suit that looked like any other suit. I found a place that made custom neckties and at the bottoms of the tie they stitched his name and the date of the communion so he could have that as a keepsake. The girls still look at their dresses sometimes but my son is very "yeah, whatever" about the tie. I think those gifts and keepsakes are really more of a girl thing.The Rock Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653277401124290907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-59288461003575440512008-07-22T09:33:00.000-05:002008-07-22T09:33:00.000-05:00I don't have any suggestions, but I HAD to write t...I don't have any suggestions, but I HAD to write to say a big AMEN to the weirdness of seeing your.....lady doctor out and about. My OBGYN? He's in my in-laws' Sunday school class, came to my wedding, and signed our wedding frame "Be fruitful and multiply." Yeah. I love him, though, so I wouldn't trade that for anything. He treats me like one of his own daughters, which is wonderful ....but at the same time, it's crazy weird every time he calls me sweetie and kisses me on the cheek. Sounds creepy when I tell about it, but it's not like that......just....you know. Different. Good, but different. I feel like I'm talking in circles.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765673372975518220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-84623032219766918932008-07-21T23:11:00.000-05:002008-07-21T23:11:00.000-05:00I have no ideas, but good luck. :)I have no ideas, but good luck. :)Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046306355404937213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-20992036179197305512008-07-21T21:38:00.000-05:002008-07-21T21:38:00.000-05:00The parenting book I have really liked having is "...The parenting book I have really liked having is "what to expect the toddler years". <BR/>It is divided into sections by age but has a summary of what is under each age. It addresses everything I've ever needed to know more about with my own son and I love it! It's not the kind of book you read cover to cover, more of a quick reference. There's also what to expect the first years but I've never read it.<BR/>For a gift a pocket watch might be a nice male alternative to a locket and they can be engraved. At stores where they do engraving they might have more ideas too- they have keepsake type things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
