Thanks you guys, I am headed to BB. No wait, not BB going to Target . . . Friday PM, 93degrees, have the pool need beer. Ok, it's settled Target for the Nano, cover, some other "iPodish" thing - Mother inlaws word not mine - and liquid refreshments. Amazing how a plan comes together Thanks all - have a great weekend

Never mind....

Man I can't believe what kids get these days. Whatever happened to giving them a basketball and shooting some hoops. Happy B'day to your little man.

Peer pressure gets translated to kid-->parent pressure. Such is the way of things....

Beer? Is this a party for your son or an excuse to have a party for yourself?

The party is tomorrow, this is the it's Friday and beer, bbq and blue bell sounds good kind thing.
I think I got a bag of socks and a package of underwear for one of my bday's. Allright, I cracked under the pressure. School is out for the summer down here and he did very, very well this year. Honor awards for science, math, band and social studies, 2 athletic awards and honor society. He is getting a 1 gb nano, grandmother got him a logitech base for the room. Kind of neat, 6 small speakers and doesn't play too loud.
And BTW his cake is a blue bell ice cream cake - double dutch chocolate for one layer with homemade vanilla as the other layer with chocolate and strawberries on top. Ummmm, self induced sugar coma

My daughter is 9 and i struggled with buying her an ipod for christmas because i felt she was to young. but i reasoned it that she listened her $20 cd player all the time and they kept breaking. its also hard for a 9yo to keep their cd's scratch free. so i looked at some of the cheaper mp3 players but the value was not there sure it was only $50 but she would outgrow it to fast i thought. to add to it im the type of father that buys my daughter stuff she does not even ask for becuase i would have wanted it as a kid(we didnt have a lot of $$).anyway i settled on the 2Gb nano(they did not have the one gb at the time). She loves and appreciates it so as long as your child will appreciate it and use it i say get whatever he'll get the most use out of. YMMV Also in my case no other kids in her class had an ipod. and she really had no idea what an ipod was she just wanted something that did not need cd's so no peer pressure just me again going for what i would have wanted

Go the cheap route. Kids that age tend to loose things quite often.
