Claire's got wheels. She loves this car. It was found, covered in grime and God knows what else, in her Great-Grandmother's shed (shudder). After a bleach washing in Grandma's bathtub, it is good as new. She loves pushing it around and putting things in the trunk which is on the front like her momma's first Volkswagen bug. It even coverts, a la Transformer, to a full blown push toy. The rear end elevates and a handle appears. It is totally cool for screaming and ramming into Diesel.
Today she learned how to actually *sit* on it. So cool. I came into the living room and she was doing this...
Granted, it wasn't going anywhere, but she was pulling her feet up and screaming like she was on a crotch rocket flying down I-20. I was laughing so hard I can't believe the picture isn't blurry.So an updated list of favorite toys of the month? Sorry to all of you who bought expensive baby shower gifts:
6. Mom's dirty bearcat flip flops
5. Cardboard bottom of the collapsible toy basket
4. Salvaged toy car
3. Ripped up 2007 calendar from our Realtor
2. 4 inch yellow plastic spatula, hand-me-downed from a student of mine's play kitchen
1. Sock Monkey
If you bought her something for her upcoming birthday, save the receipt. I'm sure she'll enjoy the present, but she might enjoy eating the receipt more.
