I feel like all of my posts are either about health, or birthdays. We have a stretch of birthday after birthday in our family. May, June, July, August, October… September is when Quinn was “born”.. so we really have every month for 6 months. Not that we celebrate in September.. maybe we should to make it less sad. After all, Quinn is with Jesus. What could be better?!
This post is not supposed to be sad. Moving on.
We are wanting to just get a big gift for Harper this year. We usually do a few smaller gifts, but she is our last baby. We have enough small toys sitting around the house. The debate is trying to decide which one. I have found two that I love, but just can’t decide which to do.
Option 1:
Radio Flyer classic walker wagon
This honestly may be my favorite. It will help her learn to walk. She is not really cruising yet, so it will probably get some serious use. PLus, she will probably love to load it up with toys and push it around for years. It’s adorable, and it even has a setting to “resist walk” where it won’t just roll away from her as she is learning to use it. How neat!! It’s an indoor toy, and probably will get more use than an outside toy here in Michigan. If it’s not snowing or freezing, it’s raining. The only con to this is that it’s an indoor toy, which means more space taken up inside the house. Though, we just moved our big screen TV out of the house and are trying to sell it. Any takers?
Option 2:
This thing is awesome. It will literally be used for YEARS to come. You can push them in it like a stroller, help them learn to ride, and eventually transition it into a regular tricycle. It’s so cool!! I worry about the amount of use it will get because of our living situation. We don’t get to play outside a whole lot here. Five years is a very long time to still be here, so the chances of us moving before this is outgrown are pretty high. Maybe we will live somewhere that people aren’t walking through our yard and driveway constantly; somewhere that we FEEL safe.
The struggle is real. I say we go with the cheaper one, and drop heavy hints to grandparents about the other.
No?
I think that both will be loved by her, it’s just a matter of CHOOSING one. I am leaning towards purchasing the walker wagon. She loves pulling up on thing, she loves to put things in a basket and pull them out. Not, that she won’t enjoy being pushed around the neighborhood when we go on family walks, and riding a trike when she is old enough.
I overthink things. Someone save me from myself!
