We love "caw wides". We pretend we are going for car rides all the time. Before we had the "real" car I had taken some pictures of places that were our pretend cars. I was going to write about the pretend cars on the blog. I thought I would combine the pretend car rides with the new ride we have at home now!
Pre-Cozy Coupe - Dalby loved to go the "store" for me and get milk, eggs, butter, "chicken fried", bread, "acky"(ice cream), "cukcake"(cupcake). She would get her keys, usually a baby and the baby's drink and her purse and other random items and climb under her easel or any other piece of "covered" furniture(ie the highchair). Many times I also asked for a kiss and a hug before she left. She would then get herself situated, put her seatbelt on and then once she was ready would shout "Bye". Usually in the getting situated process she "got"(forgot or needs to get) something. She would climb out, run and get whatever item she needed and then the conversation started all over again.

Dalby has seen and has riden in other people's Cozy Coupes. She gets a little obsessed over the cars and doesn't like to share the owner's toy. So when our own car arrived we couldn't believe it! We waited for dad to get home from his weekly travels and then we opened the car for assembly. Assembly could not go fast enough.....Dalby carried the steering wheel around and pretended to drive, she also "helped" dad by trying to put the steering wheel in any hole in the car, often standing right over him watching his every move. She also repeated over and over and over again...."Dalby drive", "Dalby turn", "Dalby car" She was so excited, but having a two year old help can be a little counterproductive at times(like when she put the screwdriver in one of the holes in the car and we had to shake the car body to wiggle it out). Needless to say Dad was successful in the assembly of "Dalby car" and she was off and loving it. The car is all over our house. She has a bit of trouble manuevering it right now so she gets out and pushes the car to the rooms we are in at the time. i.e. The other day I went to quickly use the restroom in our small bathroom. I always have company but this time I heard the car following me. I increased my walk, thinking I could beat the car's arrival into the bathroom, but I didn't. So it was the car, myself and Dalby in the tiny bathroom. It was a little tricky to wash my hands and then it took a bit to get the car out of the bathroom. We also go on "walks" with the car. Which means dad or mom pushes Dalby in the car up the sidewalk as she snacks, never letting go of the steering wheel.
Pretend car
The video is about 3:30 minutes and pretty much shows how she gets herself "situated" for the ride.
