Radio Flyer Walker Wagon

This is one of my all time favorite purchases for my 1 year old. I discovered it at a friends house. Our kids were all at the age of starting to walk (~ 9 months) and they just loved taking turns pushing the wagon and giving each other wagon rides. Here's why I enjoy it so much...

• It's going to last us many years through (hopefully) many kids.
• It's not restricted to just a walker toy. In the future, my oldest could push younger siblings around or we could display toys in it in his room.
• It's not wobbly... all other walker toys I was looking into purchasing were kind of wobbly... he would lose his balance easily when pushing it. This one is heavy enough to help him balance if he begins to stumble.
  
• The wheels "click" when he pushes it. There's a purpose to it though... it's clicking because there is a mechanism that keeps it from rolling out of control when it transfers from soft to hard surfaces. So when he pushes it from the carpet to the kitchen tile... it goes the same speed.
• I'm a huge fan of Radio Flyer equipment. They just remind of my childhood when toys were more simple.
• It posed as a great "Easter basket" this year. My son could push it around instead of carrying a basket. For him, that was good because he's still pretty wobbly when carrying something.
  

The downer to this fantastic toy is the price. They are around $80 plus shipping. (They don't carry them in stores that I have seen). So, I beat the system and found one on Craigslist for $50. I have a friend that found one for $35. If you are in the market for a walker toy, I HIGHLY recommend this one. You just have to hunt for a used one if you don't want to spend the $100.

Toddler Towels

We all got them as gifts, baby bath towels. Most of them have some attempt of a hoodie. But I've noticed, that most of those towels my 11 month has already outgrown. Obnoxious. Enter in Toddler Towels to save the day.

These ladies make Hooded Towels out of adult size towels so they really can't out grow them. And the hood isn't a cone head... it's more rounded... which is awfully nice. I mean, how cute are these:

So if you are in the market for a good gift, these are pretty darn cute, customized (can't find at Target or Babies R Us) and grows with the kids.

Cheers!

Once Upon a Child

Divine Consign was a little disappointing to me. Probably because we went Sunday when it opened Saturday night. Who'd a thought all the good stuff would have been picked over so fast!

Armed with money to spend and the mood to dig, Heather and I headed to Once Upon a Child after going to Divine Consign. Jackpot! I don't know if the economy is making people sell more stuff or what but I found even better deals and better stuff at the Plano location than I did at Divine Consign. I also went back to sell some clothes to them and it was okay. They were only taking 2 and 3 piece outfits because they were overloaded with clothes. They were really in need of the big items... exersaucer, swing, strollers, etc. I bet those items they would pay good money for. It's a supply and demand thing. So if you are looking to make some money and have those items, I recommend them.

I have never attended this but I have heard about it through mommy buzz that it is awesome. Prices are great on all sorts of child-related goods. If I were in town this weekend, I'd totally be in Grapevine with a wagon in tow. But instead, I will attend the one in Plano.
