Christmas gifts for the kids.....

I'm in quite a dilema over the presents this year.... in previous years I could slide through the season with minimal effort, but this year, AJ is a keen observer. He has caught on to the fact that most things he has asked for he has received I think.... this could be a mistake on my part. Anyhoo.... he wants a sewing machine, this is not a whim ~ I can't even count how many times he has told us the only thing he wants is a sewing machine with lots of thread. I thought a couple of weeks ago he was over it, when I explained we wouldn't be able to get one because it was somewhat dangerous and TK could get hurt and the directions said he should be 6. I told him would figure something out when he was 5, he responded be saying "how about 4, mom." It wasn't brought up after that, so I figured for awhile he would get distracted with some other novelty, even though he is rarely distracted. We wenting shopping for a friend's birthday gift and I thought after AJ picked out a new toy for him he would have a long list of things he wanted.... nope, he said "Those things are fun for Mason." Is this typical 3-yr old behavior? Well TK was asking why we don't have cats and AJ walked into the room and said "Yeah and I want a sewing machine with lots and lots of thread." I thought oh no here we go again...... It doesn't matter what we get that kid, he is going to be DISAPPOINTED!! Does anyone have any suggestions and please not the cheap pink hello kitty sewing maching..... this is the kid that was not impressed with the child size motorcycles because they weren't the same size as the one on the roads.
