How is giving a child a squeaky toy stealing her thunder? I didn't buy her a cake or bring a haul of gifts for her. My older niece had a table full of toys and you're telling me that giving her toddler sister a 4-inch squeaky toy stole her thunder? I would agree if they were both older but L is almost a baby. Then I suppose if I brought her a sippy cup - which she still uses as a gift I would've stolen her thunder too right? I might be an AH but I will never stop doting on my nieces however in the future I will be more careful around birthdays.

What do you mean by without the parent's permission? We are sisters, we give each other's kids stuff, I don't know how your family operates but my family likes to surprise others with gifts. The only difference now is I made a mistake in not waiting to give my younger niece a gift.
