Lasa's Power Wheels Upgrade

Baby Girl QUICKLY outgrew the little toddler Power Wheel she got for her birthday.  And given our powerful Power Wheels love, we couldn't leave the poor child without a set of wheels!!

So, you know me, I sold that bad boy.  And these following bad boys, too.  Both helped fund a much needed Power Wheels upgrade.

 

We made two solid attempts to be frugal and buy used.  Both times, we showed up at the people's houses and neither ride on toy would run ... despite the listing claiming they worked great and despite my messaging and reminding that we would need to see them running before purchasing and them assuring me that they would run.  People. Both times we gave the people friendly side eye and left the premises with our cash still in hand. Josh was over the aggravation after that and said just buy a new one.

So we used a smidge of tax return cash and the sold toys cash and got Lasagirl a brand new Power Wheels.  We are trying to pretend that this counts as a realllllly early birthday present.  Because we really would save this for her birthday, but her birthday doesn't come til the dang END OF SUMMER! Nope. Not wasting a spring and summer full of good riding time.  Early present it is!

We nixed the Anna and Elsa Frozen decals that are meant for this model and went with a cleaner, simpler snowflake motif instead.  We love it.  And, after a few first time nerves, she is off the races.  She is the exact age Noah was when he got his first "Bee Caw" (big car) our first Christmas here in TN.  Precious memories.  Fun to compare!

Bring on spring and summer!
