She will get more use out of #2 at this age anyway!

[shevacc]

Something similar to the top one is "only $800" at Costco right now...we're getting G some art supplies for her birthday (crayons and sidewalk chalk, I think) .

See them! I agree with Charlie. She will enjoy #2 more now anyways.

[rainbowchip]

I feel you!
@lauranicole I had to refresh to get the pics to show up.

[laurack]

hubby says I'm not allowed to buy "any more big plastic contraptions"

he claims he will build her a swing set himself when she's older and can enjoy it. But what am I supposed to buy her NOW for her birthday if I'm not to buy any "plastic crap" and we can't afford to buy nice crap? sigh

Water table?

One of those 4 in 1 trikes. I know lauranicole got a kind for Peyton.

A table and chair set.

Do you have a place to hang a swing outside www.etsy.com/listing/102416607/baby-swing-or-toddler-swing-cedar?ref=cat_gallery_3 Or you could do a plastic one from target

Its awesome but not super usable til they are older. Bring him to the playground!

Don't sweat it. The first one comes with the first broken limb feature. :-)

Your H is being crazy. Every kid needs a plastic slide! We trained our cats to go up and down ours when we were little.

THIS is why I was short changed by not having pets until I was older!

Our sand and water table is always a huge hit. Both kids play on it every time we go outside.

I'm with you.. we wanted a big set similar to the above one but don't have space in our yard.. so we settled for this:
www.amazon.com/Little-Tikes-Swing-Along-Castle/dp/B001OC5YL8/ref=sr_1_34?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1365632955&sr=1-34&keywords=swing+and+slide+Little+Tikes

lol, NO WAY Linus would even come close to using the top one right now turning 2 if it makes you feel any better! Definitely not for this 2 yr old klutz. Fiona got a little slide (taller than that one, but still a "beginner slide") and he can BARELY scramble up and down it.

Do we have the same husband? Mine thinks he will be building (with semi-professional help)something like that for A too. I keep trying to convince him that A will have as much fun with a simple swing set so we will see. 

He (with help!) made this sandbox for A's birthday - it is a 5 ft square and I think it will be great - the sand will be in it on Friday. The canopy is great as it will keep the sun off and then will be lowered to keep the animals out when its not in use.

Where did you get the plans for that? I LOVE it!

[SteelCity44]

We were able to get this swing set for Micah and instead of the trapeze bar, installed an infant seat. He goes nuts for it. He loves to push the swings by himself. He loves the slide. The only thing he doesn't use is the teeter totter.

My parents have a hand-me-down of this slide, and he loves that, too!

I totally laughed at that because thats me. I would love to give Camden these big awesome things, but sadly.. cant afford it. So he gets the cheaper, way smaller version.

[laurack]

What about something like this... No plastic!
