I remember agonizing about getting a play kitchen for my daughter one Christmas when she was 4 or 5. It cost over $100 and I was wondering if I should spend that much on a gift for her; I didn't want to "spoil" her. My mother's advice was, "You only have 1 child, it's not like you have 6 or 7 children on whom to spend". Daughter received the kitchen and played with it for many years before we donated it. <br /><br />Could you help Bear cull through his current toys and put some aside to give to charity, to keep the number of items in his room to a manageable amount? <br /><br />Could you give Bear some "experiences" type of gifts? Visits to special places that he might be interested in, for example. Is there a science museum that he might like to visit? They will be different than what the other kids have, but he might enjoy them more, as it sounds like he enjoys science experiments, etc.<br /><br />I think, no matter what you end up doing, your son will have a lovely Christmas and birthday.
