Crys
I'm trying to figure out what we should get our children for Christmas.
We have a year old daughter, 3-4 year old boys.
We were going to buy the boys bikes, but they can't ride them outside anytime soon anyway, so we're getting them for their birthday-February.
We're wanting to get my daughter some sort of bouncing toy, or something she can develop cognitive skills over time, and we want to get the boys some fun learning development toys also.
I've been thinking about getting my daughter an upright carseat for Christmas, because we'll need one. And, she is so young, she plays with the paper or the boxes more than she does the actual toy.
What are some nice toys that you would recommend?
We're getting some Vtech toys, and I would like to know some ideas for the boys big gift.
My fiance also has a 9 year old daughter, we're taking her shopping after Christmas, so that she can pick out what she wants this year.
What items would be good for stocking stuffers? I'm thinking lotion, lip gloss, nail polish, she is a very girly girl, but too young for actual make up. I've been thinking about getting her a DS game for her stocking, but if we take her shopping, she can pick out her own game that she desires most.

Merry Christmas!
I would not worry so much about the 1 year old as she is so small. I'd get her the car seat and maybe a small dolly or stuffed animal and let it go at that. For her stocking she could get wipes, baby snacks, and a new sippy cup.
Boys at age 3-4 enjoy monster trucks (these are small, not a whole lot bigger than Matchbox), and they also do well with large Lego-type blocks (Mega Blocks), Lincoln Logs, and Tinker toys. These are not only interactive, but they are great for the imagination. Boys also like cowboy and indian play sets, Fisher Price and Match Box car sets, and Matchbox cars.
The nine year old is old enough to have a list made out so you can pick and choose from it.
I always do stocking stuffers for all my kids, which includes grown kids, their spouses, and grand-kids. I give oranges, candies (favorites of the recipient), a box of CrackerJack, Slim Jims, Pez candy dispensers, a Slinky, underwear, socks, mittens, yo yos, etc. Kids like this kind of fun stuff, including nine year olds. It is easy to fill stockings.
Christmas is fun, but I would not spend a fortune in this economy as most kids have a ton of stuff as it is. Your kids are small enough that you can make it look like a lot and not spend a lot.
It is a good idea to keep the bikes for spring and nicer weather. When our kids were young and wanted bikes, we'd tell them to wait until spring when the Income Tax would come in and then we'd get them bikes. If you live where it is cold, kids also like sleds.
Have fun!

what is the title of this movie?
About five or six years ago, I watched a movie about two sisters who raced... well, racecars. as a sport. They both had red hair, if I remember correctly, and the movie is mainly about the older one. The movie opens with her as a little girl, racing on her bike against a boy. She wins.
At some point in the movie her racecar gets taken apart because she keeps getting perfect starts. They discover that she is not cheating, and it gets put back together.
At another point in the movie, she quits racing, then starts again later.
And the last thing I remember is when she is in P.E. at school, playing volleyball, and a mean girl tells her that she should join a real sport. (not racing.) In response, she says back something like 'excuse me, but it takes a little more effort that just pushing a pedal down. The G forces are literally pushing you back in your seat."
This is all I remember. I am trying to remember this movie title so I can watch it again! I liked it. Can anyone help me?
Answer
Right on Track(2003)
This Disney Channel feature film is based on the true story of female hot rod racers Erica Enders and her sister Courtney Enders. When the National Hot Rod Association begins a new children's league, eight-year-old Erica (Briana Shipley) is first in line to sign up -- only to be flatly informed that hot rodding is a "man's" sport, and that little girls should stay home with their dollies. Undaunted, and urged on by her supportive father Gregg (Jon Robert Lindstrom), Erica persists in her dream to become a champion racer, and by the time she has entered her teen years (whereupon she is played by Beverly Mitchell), the girl has handily beaten all of the local male competition, with her equally talented kid sister Courtney (Brie Larson) keeping apace in her own souped-up roadster. But the big-time national competitions are still in the future, and Erica and Courtney have yet to confront their most formidable racing rivals. The real-life Enders sisters doubled for the actresses portraying them in the hot-rodding sequences. Filmed in Salt Lake City, Right on Track made its cable TV bow on March 21, 2003.
Idk if that is the movie tou are lookin for
