In case anyone is wondering
Alex has expressed interest in

1) Getting guitar lessons
2) Taking a creative writing course

I got him the second season of arrested development

JB said...

Well, I think I might get him an iPod nano. The mp3 player I got him a few years ago hasn't turned out to be the greatest--definitely nothing compared to the Nano.

JB said...

Ok, change of plans. I'm not buying Alex an iPod. Instead, he'll get a watch and some warm outer wear for a winter of Danger! walking.

I think I hit the spot last year when I got Alex the sweater from Banana Republic since he wears it almost everytime i see him. So, I think i'm going to get him clothing of some sort. I'm still brainstorming.. jb, can you think of anything in particular that he needs, clothing-wise?

JB said...

Clothing is a good idea. And Banana is definitely the way to go. Pretty much any of the standard stuff will do: pants, sweaters (light enough to put on top of a shirt), or collared shirts. I think he was complaining about needing pants the other day, but I might be making that up...

ok, i got him a nice sweater from BR and am going to get him the new Thomas Friedman book- The World is Flat. I think he'll like it.. i think.

I saw the soft fluffy pillows from Brookstone that made me think of a good thing for his naps on the couch. What do you think, JB?

JB said...

Mom, he doesn't often take naps on the couch, but I'm sure he'd appreciate those pillows for naps in general or for down in the basement when he's playing video games--we don't have the most comfortable setup down there.

Just an FYI for anyone stuck on what to give him: He has an Amazon wishlist (search "Alexander Lundry") with a buttload of CDs that he'd be happy to get.

Also, I looked into guitar lessons for him and found two places: one in Pentagon City and one in Laurel. If someone needs a gift to give, I can give this one up.

We got him a thin royal blue sweater and shirt to wear under it from Express.

Jeebs,

I like the idea of the guitar lessons. Can we steal this one from you? Let's find a quiet moment tonight when you come home so we can talk about it...
