At our recent birthday party for Anna we got to enjoy driving around the driveway in our cars. Mommy said when she was little there was no such thing as cars for 2-year olds. Based on what she usually says, I imagine childhood was a real drag for Mommy because they didn't have ANYTHING like we have today and they had to actually use their imaginations when they played. BOR.ING.
Our friends, the L's, who live nearby gave us this adorable pink Jeep to play with. Did you know that they make pink Escalades for kids? They retail for quite a bit of money, just like real Escalades. And just like real Escalades they are more of a status symbol than a safe vehicle. The real Escalades don't fare well in Government safety crash ratings and it turns out, neither do toddler Escalades! I'm not sure if toddler Jeeps have five-star crash ratings either but they are more rugged and more my speed than some uppity Escalade. This is what Mommy tells me anyway...
The L's have their own toddler Jeep and it is a 2-seater. I went on my first ride with a boy in this car and in case you can't tell, we had loads of fun. We went on unpaved roads, 20 miles over the speed limit and came home 16 minutes after curfew. After that I was lectured and grounded and Nathan's Daddy patted him on the back and said, "Nice work, son. Just make sure you wear your seat belt!"
Cheers to spring and lots of good days for riding with the top down!
Love,
Lilly
