Joshua's New Ride!


We were at Walmart last night and Cory just happened to walk down the aisle where they have the motorized kids vehicles like the Mustangs and Gators. He quickly called me over after looking at the price tag on this race car hanging up - it said $64! WHAT?!?!?! Those things are over $200 (we checked the Power Wheels website when we got home and they are $220)! He was going to double check the price with a salesperson because we figured it was mis-marked. Nope, the tag was right, $64! Even the salesperson was saying we were getting a great deal. So, even though I don't like Nascar or Dale Earnhardt (whose name and number are all over this little car) I couldn't really pass that bargain up (if my kid didn't like it I figured Icould sell it)! They hauled it down from display and Joshua hopped right in and pushed the gas pedal, immediately taking off. So, it's already assembled, the battery was charged and Joshua has an early birthday present! Last night he had to drive it inside in his pajamas and I had to read him his bedtime stories while he sat in the car. Today he has been walking around saying, "I love my race car!" He has also been singing, "Happy birthday to Joshua, happy birthday dear Joshua, happy birthday I got a race car!" He has driven it several times (inside and outside) and has already figured out the forward and reverse gears, now we are just working on learning how to steer. Glad he is enjoying his early birthday present!
