D and I had been discussing what to get her for her 1st birthday present from us and we wanted to get her something really really special that would create memories for a lifetime. We spotted this Mickey Mouse Clubhouse ride-on plane in Target for a measly 30 bucks and though Baby A seemed to take some interest in it, it seemed like something that would easily lose its novelty very quickly. From there we decided that a ride-on type toy would be the best idea!!!
I discovered the Step2 buggy/car from spending hours on the web researching. It's a lovely little car that has a detachable handle and works great as an alternative to a stroller! It was way out of the range in which we hoped to spend but because I am never one to give up, I found it for less than half what we would have paid - only $30 on craiglist!!! It's been very gently "loved" but is pretty much new and though we could have put it away, we decided to take it for it's first spin today. We think that it looks a little like Grammy and Grandpap's Cooper!!!
This, of course, is/was Baby A's BIG gift from us but we're sure that she will enjoy it well enough even though we've given it to her a little early. And, definitely, it is something that we know will provide many happy and fun memories for her - that of which we were aiming for more than anything in the world.
