rabbit race car

Ro's really only been consistently asking for one thing for Christmas, which is a rabbit race car. We were a bit dumbfounded at first and still puzzled as the request continued day afer day. He's asking for it two or three times a day now and has resorted to building his own out of household items. They're quite complex. He used a laundry basket as the body with a pillow in it for the engine. This was balanced on two other pillows for the wheels. He had his child-sized folding chair as the seat and a microphone was the steering wheel. He used a rabbit PEZ dispenser as the "rabbit key" to get it started. He covered most of it with shredded tissue, which he described as "rabbit paint". The theme has been growing with Ro building cars for Sim and for Daddy. Your car style is defined by your PEZ key. If you have a pumpkin PEZ dispenser then you have a pumpkin car, chick PEZ = chick car, etc.

Grandpa asked Ro what he wanted to be when he grew up. Typical answer is a fireman or a hero or to fix cars - occasionally a doctor. Today, he said he wanted to be a mommy and take care of babies. I couldn't stop laughing about it when Grandma told me. He has been quite nurturing to Simone sometimes.

Sim is 18 months old today. whee!
