Here's Reid riding the John Deere tractor that he got for Christmas. Reid has been alittle frustrated with his tractor because it will not do what he wants. He wants to ride in the yard and pickup "sticks" and wants it to go "fast".
So....he now has a pink Barbie Jeep that is much faster and will go in the yard. Here is the story. My Mammaw and Papaw bought this for my cousins about 10 years ago and then once they were finished, Papaw gave it to his brother for his grandkids. Well, they didn't ride it very much and are now to big for it. Papaw knew that his brother still had the Jeep so he went and picked it up. When we found out that we would soon have a Barbie Jeep, Craig and I decided that we would paint it and sticker it up for a boy before we gave it to Reid. Well, as you can see we didn't wait. After we saw the Jeep, it was apparent that the paint and detail job would take some time, that we don't have right now, so we went ahead and gave it to him.
Reid LOVES it!!! Says "fast Jeep". Something else that is funny about the Barbie Jeep is that Reid loves to go to Toys-r-us and play in a Barbie Jeep almost just like this. I am sure that he thinks this is it. This Jeep is in great shape and has hardly been used. Even the radio still works.
Reid does a great job steering this Jeep...we were really surprised. Oh, and we had to zip-tie his tractor wagon to the back so he could get "hay" and "sticks". It worked great. Maybe sometime it will be transformed but for now he is cruising around in the pink Jeep. He doesn't seem to care but I think Craig was alittle hesitant. Over the last week or so, Reid has made Craig ride beside of him while he rode his little tractor and then tonight he did the same with the Jeep.
We are still waiting for Case to arrive...
