What To do For My Big Guys Birthday?

Happy Birthday to my first born. He's 9...9! When did this happen? 

I must confess. It's his birthday, and we've yet to settle on a gift for him. Bad parent award accepted. But he's so tough to buy for. He doesn't play with toys. He's a gamer. Loves to get on the computer and play online games for hours--if we let him. Which has left it hard to figure out what to get him. Do we waste money on toys? Because that's what we'd be doing. He'd play with it once, then shove it in his closet. Or do we buy him a tablet? Something he could read on and play games. Truth be told, I'm leaning toward a tablet.

I've been reluctant to get him one. I thought maybe a family one, which is still in my plan. If I get him a tablet, he's still just playing video games (let's be honest, he'll do that 80% of the time). But that's what he likes. It isn't like he isn't active. He is. He likes to ride bikes, play outside with friends, and such. If I tell him to close down the computer and find something else to do. He whines like any kid and eventually finds something to do after I threaten to make him clean the tub with a toothbrush. 

So, for the day we're going to have some fun. And then tonight when my husband gets home, I guess we need to make a decision so we can take him shopping.  Heck, I've still gotta get a cake!!!

*Shakes head* This day snuck up way too quickly!
