Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage

Do you like my shout out to the 90s with the Coolio lyrics? Hahaha, I crack myself up.

Anyhoo, yesterday I bought Annabel a Cozy Coupe from Craigslist. Have I mentioned before how much I love Craigslist? No? Well, chalk it up to my Mommy Brain condition then. We went to a birthday party a few weeks ago, and they had a Cozy Coupe, and we could NOT get Annabel out of it. Not even for birthday cake! So I would check Craigslist here and there to see if anybody had one. Brand new, they are about $60, and I would rather not pay that.

Lo and behold, I found one yesterday not more than a couple of miles from me for a mere $20 in barely used condition! And ever since I brought it home, Annabel will not do anything without it.

Here she is watching Sesame Street this morning. Her own personal drive-in!

The only thing is, she won't push herself in it. Either she refuses to figure it out, or she thinks it's too slow.

We went for a little walk around our street (she's not healthy enough to go to the park yet). See how Annabel isn't her usually blurry self? That's because she's not going anywhere.

So she decides that things will go much faster if she pushes the car. Look closely at the picture and you'll see she's actually BEHIND the car, not in it.

Finally, we give up and I tell Annabel to prop her feet up and I push her the rest of the way. There's not a good foot rest, so she hangs her feet out the door. We'll just have to remember to tell her this is a no-no in a real car. (it's one of Daddy's biggest pet peeves.)

So continues Annabel's love affair with cars... Thanks, Daddy. If she asks for a hot rod for her first car, I'm blaming you. However, I guess I should be thankful that she's not asking for a motorcycle!

Cheers,
Cathy
