hippy van

olive received another gift in the mail! the beautiful carol, ted, and kids sent olive such a cool gift! we were super excited to open the package when it arrived and it was…a little push van! the toy is from plan toys…a wonderful company that manufactures sustainable wood toys. they use organic rubber wood and non toxic paint {safe for baby, since they put their mouths on everything!}.

i have mentioned this before and again, i love wooden toys for miss olive. this van is so stinkin’ adorbs. hc immediately put it together for her and she stood up and started rolling the van along. she was a bit wobbly {she fairs better with heavier items} but nonetheless, she wibble wobbled her way across the floor with the van. it was too cute to see.

my girl carol is obsessed with vw’s. obsessed. so anything in a form of a vw van, is game. i chuckled when we opened the package, it seriously put a smile on my face to see the present. now every time i look at it, i think of my dear friend carol and that’s a very good thing. it was the perfect present…a combo of my love for wood toys, olive’s love for pushing things, and carol’s love for vw’s.

well, as you see above, olive was loving it. success! plus, it’s like a cart, so little o can put stuff inside and push it around. and lemme tell ya, the little babes loves to put things in bags, boxes, crates, you name it! she puts stuff in, she takes them out, she leaves toys everywhere she goes. the joys of having a little one and a messy place {well, we keep neat here in the household…natch!}.

thanks carol and famille! we love you guys, we miss you and we hope to see y’all soon!
