This was a gift for both kids. I thought really carefully about Christmas, and used it to help wean Louisette of certain baby things (giving them to her younger cousin) that I want OUT OF MY HOUSE now TJ is getting too big to need them (eg we had three cot toys) – and to prepare for the long dark time when Louisette and TJ are both mobile enough to take each other’s toys, but not mature enough to restrain themselves. So our kids tended to get some joint gifts, and a lot of very carefully paired gifts (like two cars, two duplo sets) – plus of course some that are just for Louisette, and will be kept well out of TJ’s reach (or at least that’s the plan – she IS old enough to learn from negative experiences if she doesn’t pack up her own things).
