Last weekend I spent fifty hard-earned dollars on one toy for Maddie. This isn’t something I do very often, especially given the fickle nature of my child. The last time I spent over fifty bucks it was on a bouncer saucer jumper thingy, and she loved it for approximately three days. So even if Maddie suddenly decides she doesn’t like this new toy, she’s already liked it longer than the bouncer so it feels like a victory.
So we got her a car. A push car.
We have dubbed it the “Moozer Cruiser.”
It’s basically made the stroller useless. If I put her in the stroller, she screams and freaks out. If I put her in the car? Well, I get this face with hand claps and squeals of joy.
So when we have to run errands around the neighborhood (grocery store, pharmacy, etc), into the car she goes. I love watching other people’s reactions to her when we pass them. She smiles and waves and says “HIIIIIIIII!” to everyone we pass. It’s priceless.
She’s seriously a crack up on this thing. (And, I am NOT running when I push her in this video. It’s a camera trick!)

OMG she is a cutie – I happened apon your blog and gosh, have been here for over and hour – reading, reading and more reading. I think it was the eye’s, they’re so big and gorgeous and well how could you not resist such a cutie in her new car! I wouldn’t go back to a pram either! Keep up the awesome work you are doing.

I have debated about getting that car for my son. But seeing her reaction I think I will just have to get him it.
That is just adorable.

Oh.My.Gawd! She is so cute! Love the car, love the coat (I’ve got 2 boys and just love little girl clothes!) and her excitment is priceless. Enjoy your weekend away.
I love how your daughter always has this wide-eyed “God, life is so freakin’ awesome!” expression. Just good parenting or Krazy Glue? Botox? Fishing wires? Goofball-laced Cheerios?

We have the same car in red. My son spent the majority of last summer being pushed around our yard in it. It was his favorite thing in the world to do. It’s also really great for the arm muscles!
seems likeit was money DEFINITELY well spent. look at her cruisin’ around in that thing. the good news is that now you can probably sell your stroller on craigslist. hahah.,

We had a similar one-but it was the trike because we were struggling with pedaling (still are) and it got to the point that I hated him seeing it. Every time he did it was an automatic fit if I didn’t push him on it. Luckily we have older siblings that dote on him so they took their turns-many times. She looks adorable-I love her smile.

Can I just say how in love with her I am? She’s adorable. And Rigby is such a good girl. My dog would have been run over in about .72 seconds. I love how Maddie keeps turning around and smiling at you. Adorable!
So cute, I love her reaction when you ask how much she loves it. I need to get my daughter an outside toy thingy like that.

That was SO cute!!!! I love how she seems to say “Go!” when you asked her how much she loves it! I love that girl…..is she the happiest girl on earth or what????
Awesome! She already knows how to cruise! I was waiting for Rigby to spring across and clothesline her with his leash, though. My dog loves to do that.

You call it the Moozer Cruiser? Oh no, there went the other half!
