Birthday Gift Crisis

Would you believe that my BABY is turning 5 in a few days?! Yeah, me neither. After all the years I spent with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers running around here, it's a whole 'nuther ballgame in this house when the baby is about to be kindergarten age.

Well, we have this little problem. Thanks to the fact that my kids don't watch TV or commercials, and we don't go to the mall or whatever, the child doesn't know what he wants for his birthday.

His only suggestion was a red power ranger. So, yes, I'll get him one. I had offered that to one of the grandparents that was asking for suggestions, but just found out that they decided not to buy that. So now I'll have to scramble around trying to get my hands on one of those by Wednesday.

But, really, I would like to get him something nice. And not just one power ranger. But I really have, like, no idea. And because I've been in the midst of this, that, and the other thing, now I'm too close to the birthday to order things online. So, Monday will find me trudging to the Big City in search of gifts for my favorite soon-to-be-five year old.

Any ideas of fabulous gifts for little boys that are five? Save me!
