Strollercizer

Bec finally found a cheap, non-pink stroller for Quinn at a nearby garage sale. Quinn is over the moon. He regularly swipes other kids' strollers at the park and pushes them all over the place. He just got it about 10 minutes ago. He lit up as soon as he saw Bec walking down the street bringing it home, and he has pushed it all over the house since. I had to pry the dangling stroller out of his hands to feed him his snack. Fortunately once I got him separated from it he realized he was hungry and it became less of an issue.

It's not about pushing things in the stroller, it's just about pushing the empty stroller. Bec put "Pete", a doll in the stroller, and he said "Nuup" which is his first official word (perhaps to no-one's surprise).

Best of all, it was free. It's nice to see other yard-salers adopt the same approach we do - it's not about the money, although we don't always give it away but rather in exchange for a song - but it's about purging unused stuff, and to a deserved and excited new owner. Certainly there is no more deserving and excited new owner for this stroller than Quinn.
