Mila's Stylin'
A few weekends ago, I made the girls a deal. I promised that I would buy a new car for whoever slept the longest.
Mila won.
Considering Alexis can't fit into THAT car, it's too bad she didn't make up her mind to see what I would have purchased for her. It might have been her only chance to get me to buy her a set of wheels.
OH WELL.
As it is, Mila is really very happy with her prize. The car immediately replaced the stroller as my preferred way of taking the Tiny Human everywhere. It replaced the stroller because YOU GUYS, SHE WILL SIT IN IT. FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WITHOUT SCREAMING OR FLAILING OR CALLING THE MEAN MOM POLICE.
It's amazing.
Mila is so smitten with her car, in fact, that you can set it in the middle of the yard and go run a marathon. When you return, she will still be standing by her car. She will either be climbing in and out of it over and over again or she will be trying her hardest to fasten the seatbelt. It might be a problem, actually, because she won't be any help when you're half dead from running that marathon and need some water and slapped for doing something silly like running when there wasn't a bear chasing you.
So basically I bought my toddler a car and then discovered it could be used as a babysitter.
I WIN.
(I bought it on Amazon. It's this one, but click the link for the used ones because there are a whole bunch of new ones that are in damaged boxes which are $20 off. Also, toy manufacturers can quit with the boy version and the girl version of toys like that. Red cars, FTW.)

Cole has the blue one! We should get them and their cars together and watch the hilarity ensue.
Our son loved his trike with a seatbelt and handle (until he crashed it off the end of the driveway and is now scared of it) that we took to Phipps, etc. in place of the stroller for a while.
