My Barbie - que!


We got this Barbie Jeep from friends when we lived in Vermont just as we were waiting to move to Minnesota. We didn't have Piper's referral yet but we were pretty sure she'd like one in the future, so when our friends offered we couldn't refuse! We got it out of the garage last summer but Piper wasn't quite ready to drive it, her feet barely touched the pedal and frankly it kind of freaked her out. But a week or so ago she must have spotted it under the tarp and kept asking for her 'Bar-B-Q', we had no idea of what she was asking for until one day we were in the garage and she walked up to it and asked again...pretty cool that she 'kinda' remembered what it was called.


she is very interested in how it works and keeps telling us she needs to 'fix the flat tire', she is also now the designated 'Taxi au cul de sac'....giving all the kids turns for hours on end (even if they really don't want to)! even Paisley gets a turn, but only if she wears a seat belt per Piper's instructions. Note the safety gear, Piper is...cautious.

Oh no... Piper is starting to drive young... make sure the rest of the kiddies in the street give her taxi money... as for Paisley... she is just looking so cute in that dress... take care

Good for her with the helmet! We bought the kiddos the John Deere version of this for Christmas and we've caught them actually standing on the seats!

Do you think this will help at all when it comes time to teach them to drive? Or is that just wishful thinking? :-)

Cute, cute, cute. We have a non-pink one waiting for Jammer ar cousin Alex's house. I'm betting that he will love it as much as your girls do.

Awesome! Snowflake has a "Jeep" waiting for her at her grandparents' house when she's ready. The older grandkids have it warmed up.
