One of our first tasks was to get him unhitched from the Bengal's loser train. Each time we walked around the Pentagon City mall he would run into the sporting good stores and look at the hats, jerseys, and miniature athlete statutes (read dolls for boys). But the big bin of balls realy got his attention. He woud pick them up and throw them around the store. We figured that this would work well as a present and as a retraining tool.
We went to the mall a lot. It was within waking distance of our first place and had a Metro stop in it after we found this place. The mall is much better without mall traffic. Before we got our furnature delivered, it was a convenient place to let Finn run around and not cause too much trouble when there wasn't much at home.
Back to the subject at hand, Finn also got a cute sweater and matching hat. It makes him look a little elfish, which is appropriate for Christmas. The hat looks extra fetching in combination with his sunglasses.
I think that the lesson learned is that man small gifts are possibly better than a single big one for a little boy. We have to remember that.
