Little Tikes

One great thing about being at Kristen's is that they have a bunch of great toys that I would not have thought to get. They even have toys in every age range so there are fun things for Anna. Lately she has been quite fond of these two Little Tikes things, a car and a slide.


Since coming here, she has gotten to the point where she can go up the stairs and down the slide all by herself. She can even land on her feet rather than just slide off onto her bum. Not surprisingly, she is really into big slides at parks too.


The car is another big hit. She likes to ride around in it on their sidewalk which conveniently goes in a big loop around the grassy area of the yard. Or get pushed if anyone is offering. I've noticed that she doesn't really steer very well but still has fun.

Amazingly, Kristen has had these two toys for years. Apparently, when Christopher (who is 15) was a baby, they saw them either for sale or on the side of the road (I don't remember which) so they got them and they have lasted through all (except for Luke who is really too young yet) of their boys ever since. So if you are ever thinking of getting something like that but think it's kind of pricey, they are built to last.

They have the cars at CHOP so you can go for rides and Caleb was totally obsessed. We've been talking about getting one, but hoping to find one at a yard sale or something.

Glad she loves them. We miss you like <----> that much.
