Little Tikes Truck

When it comes to toys for Seth and soon Silas, Bryan and I tend to be minimalistic. We try to re-purpose items and let Seth play with things that wouldn't necessarily be considered conventional toys. When we do buy something, we try to find things used or we even like to make homemade gifts. When I spotted a Little Tikes pick-up truck on Amazon a while back I was very hesitant about actually purchasing it new for our little man. After an exhaustive search for a used version and then a significant price reduction, we opted to go ahead and make the big purchase. Not wanting to wait until his birthday or any other significant holiday, because we don't want those days to be about stuff, we ordered it last week and it arrived last night. After some secret assembly, we revealed the surprise. As soon as Seth spotted it he ran as fast as his little legs could carry him.

He inspected all the stickers and the horn.

He loved the truck bed and
I am sure lots of dirt, twigs, and rocks will soon fill it up.

He even shared his new truck with daddy, although he wouldn't quite fit.

I'm pretty sure this splurge on one big ol' piece of plastic
is going to provide several years of fun.
