We splurged! We got The Goob a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Not the real thing of course, but a Power Wheels Jeep. We live in the perfect spot for a Power Wheels- it's flat and we have grass and pavement aplenty. Plus, no neighbors nearby to get annoyed with us. It came in yesterday (we had it shipped to Jesse's work since the mail isn't delivered out here) and Jesse put it all together before we went to see it. The Goob looked at it, and in total awe said, "Oh Gosh!! A Jeet!! Wow. A Jeet. Oh Gosh!" over and over and over. Once he realized it was his he was jumping up and down. The battery wasn't charged, but he didn't know he'd be able to drive it yet, so it didn't matter. He was thrilled just to sit in it and turn the "dials" and pretend to drive. We put The Bean in the passenger seat and they were in fits of giggles. It was pure joy to watch.
Today we went and saw it again at daddy's work. This time, he got to drive it. As Doc from the movie Cars says, Hot Snot! He was beside himself with glee. He still hasn't quite gotten the whole steering wheel and pedal thing figured out, but that will come. He's having so much fun!
Bean hasn't been left out, don't worry. The Jeep is a two seater, and he and Goobie have been happily switching seats back and forth (when the car isn't turned on!). They're absolutely loving it.
Anyone else own one of these? What do you think of it? Any stories to share? :)
