irishgrl · #1 09-14-2007, 11:03 PM

My angel is turning 7 (already!) and I'd like ideas about what is popular among other kids his age.......I know what he likes, he's pretty bloodthirsty, but I dont want to go there....I'd kind of like to encourage his creative side (give this kid a roll of tape and a stapler and he's happy!)

BUT: I dont know what is popular anymore... I know he likes Pirates stuff and Karate stuff but does anyone have any other ideas?

Man, this damn board is slow loading.

For your 7-year-old, how about the Remote Control Moon In My Room for $29.95?

Bring the beauty of the moon right into your room with this authentic, remote-control model moon. Features:

Built-in light sensor illuminates moon when it gets dark
Rotates through 12 lunar phases
True-to-life, detailed lunar moonscape
Easily mounts to wall with three different hanging angles
Includes calendar with moonphase charts
Includes audio CD with guided tour to the moon & beyond

It's made in China, so make sure there's no lead in it or mad cow disease or something.

It's Stevie!
It's Nicks!
It's Stevie Nicks!

Yes, it's Stevie Nicks
the singing, songwriting sensation
that's sweeping the nation.
Only 14.95 at participating stores!

Get one today!

Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children should avoid
prolonged exposure to Stevie Nicks.

Stevie Nicks may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds.

Stevie Nicks contains a liquid core, which if exposed due to rupture
should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.

Do not use Stevie Nicks on concrete.

Discontinue use of Stevie Nicks if any of the following occurs:

* Itching
* Vertigo
* Dizziness
* Tingling in extremities
* Loss of balance or coordination
* Slurred speech
* Temporary blindness
* Profuse Sweating
or
* Heart palpitations

If Stevie Nicks begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter
and cover head.

Stevie Nicks may stick to certain types of skin.

When not in use, Stevie Nicks should be returned to her special container and kept under refrigeration.

Failure to do so relieves the parents of Stevie Nicks, Barbara and Jessie Nicks, and her parent company, Welsh Witch Music, of any and all liability.

Stevie Nicks includes an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.

Stevie Nicks has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is also being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq.

Do not taunt Stevie Nicks.

Stevie Nicks comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Stevie Nicks! Accept no substitutes!

that moon in my room sounds cool!

I actually have the Karate Kid series thats why he's now on a Karate kick! Bless him!

Legos are always a cool toy to have, I'd even play Legos with him

My daughter is hosting a pizza party for him (I helped!) sunday night so we've got some friends coming...

I want to thank everyone for their input, its much appreciated

(ps: my son even likes Stevie Nicks!)

That's pretty cool- I wouldn't mind having one myself.

Today's the big day!!!! Gosh, time goes too quick

I wish he'd stay little forever (except for the times when I need someone to get up on the roof and clean it off and the rain gutters too!)

So, what did you get him?

well, I gave him $$$ (not too much, Im broke!) but he did get some neat presents all in all, with the best one being a NEW BIKE! (how do you compete with that???) He also got a cool Captain Jack Sparrow Halloween costume and a bunch of Pirate stuff to go with it. Since he likes to create things (his favorite attachment medium is tape!) he got some crafts stuff, paint, colored pencils and colored glitter glue. During his visitation, his dad gave him a cool army helicoptor and a bunch of army men. Army anything is always a treat for this kid

but, I guess they're old standbys

ps: I also gave him tape! he was thrilled believe it or not!

haha! Sara's the same way. She likes to play with the stapler, and I have to keep my scotch tape hidden so I can have it when I need it. She's quite the creative little thing.

Sounds like he had a good birthday!

Man when I was 7 i liked He-man and Ghostbusters. Not sure what kids like nowadays. Video games? Maybe not much in the creative side. If you wanna be creative, get him like a 3/4 kids guitar. Maybe a classical or something...see if he wants to learn how to play. They "say" thats good for the young and growing mind!
