Hayley's 1st Christmas present


This year was the first year we bought Hayley a Christmas present. Now that she is almost 2, her character, likes and dislikes are slowly showing. The babysitter told us that she is very good at playing remote control cars using both her thumbs and we decided to get her one for this Christmas. We also thought it was a good gift to stimulate her eye and hand coordination.
We decided on the above Ferrari bought at Toys R Us. The remote comes with 2 controllers, the left is to drive the car forward and backward by pushing it up and down and the left is to steer the car left or right by pushing it left and right. She was playing with it a lot on Christmas and Boxing Day (so was the papa) and was slowly getting the hang of playing with it. Today, 2 days later she broke the antenna and the right controller on the remote control that steers the car to the left and right. She wasn't rough with the toy but when the car didn't react they way she wanted it to, she hit the remote or the car to the floor several times. Now the car can only go straight or reverse :-(
I guess we have to start getting used to the idea that toys won't last.
