things you want to get your kid that you know you shouldn't

Brought to you by this awesome bed that DS would just go nuts over that was on display at Babies R Us:

[dbsk8dance]

DS is getting a Furby. I already regret it.

[Brie]

A toy basketball hoop. I know he'd love it.

[lauralala]

That bed is awesome. DS would flip. I am going to regret the workbench we bought for Christmas that has a million little screws, bolts, etc., but he specifically asked for one.

DH wants to dig out a patch in our backyard, fill it with sand, and make it a giant construction zone. It sounds cool, until I remember that there is a feral cat problem here. No giant litter boxes for us.

All the play kitchen posts make me want to get one, but she's not even a year old yet, so I'm successfully resisting so far!

[countthestars]

Oh, that is fun. I want a play kitchen and a dollhouse for DD. She is 5 months old lol.

[cilantro]

Anywhere Chair. It's already a new cat bed.

Grandma got one for ds. Dh is soooo excited lol.

I have considered that bed, but to be mm, we are keeping his nursery with converted crib until he's a little older and will need a twin bed. I really wanted to get DS a train table, even though he has tons of train sets and is getting more, and our coffee table is old and perfect train table size (and a train table would require us to get rid of the coffee table). I just want to buy him every big toy, awesome new toy and all of the classic toys I had. Our house isn't big enough for all these toys!

Yeah this is me too…DD is only 3 months old, but while she was in the damn womb I was all KITCHEN PLAY THINGS FTW!!!  I love to cook.  

I have purchased nothing, but my pinterest board is a bit…full of this stuff...

@kirkette omg those are beautiful and cool!

That just looks amazing! Do they come in adult sizes, because I totally want one for me.

[tcu2003]

I want to get DS a play kitchen, a workbench, and a train table (he's 18 months). But, we have a million toys and we're planning on moving this spring, so I don't want to deal with figuring out what to do with all of that stuff when we list our house for sale. So here's hoping we've moved by his birthday so I can get him one of those things.

I walked around Target this morning for half an hour with a Lego Friends beach house set in my cart. My kids have tons of sets already, and are getting three more each for Christmas. But I still wanted them to have this particular new one! Sanity won out and I didn't buy it, but it was a close call!

[sent]

OMG those beds. I want one. Including the pirate bed.  Never mind that my daughter is a 2 week old preemie as of tomorrow and and sleeps in a plastic container at the hospital.

[drloretta]

If it's a large stuffed panda, it wants to live in our house. Despite the gazillion large stuffed animals we already own

[Deleted]

A beanock would be perfect for him. Sure, it would take up over half of his bedroom and costs a grand, but does that really matter when you have a big cushy, cuddly swing hanging from your ceiling?

[lindyanne]

Drums

We came so close to buying this at Costco, but resisted.

[niq]

Baseball equipment.

We saw this too.  this bed is the coolest!!!!!

[stealthmom]

Dh wants to get one of those 4moms momaroo bouncers for the baby.  And I have to admit they're kinda cool.

LOL, so did we!

[Marmee]

I bought my older 2 electric scooters & DD3 drums for Christmas. I'm gonna regret them I'm sure. Also we are getting a full size air hockey/ping pong table for our sunroom which is a French door away from my living room. The noise is gonna drive me crazy. I did resist the giant polar bear at Costco though, so I do resist occasionally.

OMG that's actually kind of funny. 

I don't know if something like this would work for you, but we have a wooden playset in our backyard. Next summer I want to dig out the gravel and dirt in its square base underneath and put in sand, then have screen-material fabric that rolls done and hooks at ground level to keep out animals, leaves, twigs, etc.

I bought DD a furby. She had asked for one, and I found a good price on it. I already regret it.

We just let DS play with it there. It would take up all the open space in his room.

That might work.  We've talked about maybe using tent stakes and a tarp to cover it, but something that rolls and hooks sounds better.  I think I'm going to have to figure it out, because DH is convinced DS also needs one of these crazy things:
