Josh is experiencing something new – the siren call of the Toys R Us flier. (note to self: next time the Sunday paper comes, throw out any toy related print ads!) Last night i came across him in the living room, reading the flier quite intently. And then he saw it… one of those battery-powered kid-sized jeep things. He was instantly in love with it – he told me that i could have the purple/pink girl version and he would have the red one.
and apparently he thought about it all night long, because this morning one of the first things he said to me was “I want that car. I really want that car, Mommy.” (with the appropriate accompanying sad face)
the concept of waiting is completely lost on him – last night i told him that he’d have to wait for it (because we are probably going to get it, we have the perfect back yard for such a toy)… and he said “after my nap i can get it?” well, maybe a little longer than that sweetie pie…

Oh my… I am glad we have no junk mail on our box because that is exactly what I’d get too. Tim likes to read the flyers for tractors, mowers, weed eaters etc etc.
So generous of him to offer you the pink one! LOL! Very thoughtful!

Oh I must warn you about those cars… It’s a challenge to find someone who owns one who thinks it’s a great toy.
They move slower than walking (MUCH slower, even by toddler standards) and they are always out of battery.
My kids spent an afternoon with one (after many sad faces and much longing) and were cured in just 2 hours.
Terrible of me to come on your blog with a whole bunch of advice but you might want to check them out a little more closely before buying one!

oh, he got over it. i still think he’d love to have one, but he’s certainly not talking about it now 🙂
