Favorite Holiday Photos: Delaware, Part 2

I just couldn't resist adding two more pictures.

First, Grammie and Grampie got R a plasma car for Christmas. These things are awesome. They require no pedaling or any motorized source. Simply by twisting the steering wheel, the car moves. They can hold people up to 200 lbs, so all of us can join in on the fun with R. J and I first discovered them in a teacher supply/toy store right around the corner from our house in Texas and had to buy one for our nephew G for his first Christmas. Grammie and Grampie tried them out at the store when they visited us and loved them, too, so they got one for R. Here she is trying it out for the first time. Unfortunately, our house doesn't have a lot of wide open flat floor space so the car's hard to use in the house, but we'll definitely find more places for her to use it come warmer weather!
I mentioned in my 19 month letter how much R likes wheeling around her babies in the new strollers she got for Christmas. I neglected to mention how much she also likes riding in them herself. They're really not designed for children to ride in them, so DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, and we don't let her do this when we are playing with her and the strollers. However, Grampie has a hard time saying no to R (after all, what are grandparents for, if not giving in to indulgences now and again?), and he gave her a few turns around the kitchen and dining room in the stroller. Despite the look on her face, she is loving this. When I tried to take her out of it she howled until we let her get back in for a few more minutes.
Maybe it would even be fair to say this was the Christmas of the stroller, because J and I got a jogging stroller that Grammie and Grampie found at a consignment store (thank you!!!) and R also loves that stroller. It's like her chariot-- she loves to be wheeled around in it.
