Okay...so I've been trying to be "methodical" about my blog posts -- and I have about 2 or 3 other topics to write about that happened BEFORE this one...but I just had to get this out there for you all!
So, Brandon and I have been stroller researching for quite some time. Really, Brandon did all the REAL research -- online forums, consumer reports, reviews, etc. I did the "in-market testing" (aka -- went to the store and took them out for a test drive) For weeks...okay maybe months, we have been struggling between the Bugaboo Bee and the Uppababy Vista strollers. Hmmm...bugaboo seems a bit lighter to handle...Vista has the bassinet...bugaboo comes in pink...Vista comes in pretty sage green. SHEESH!! I CAN'T DECIDE!
Well...long story short, this past weekend, we found out the Bee carseat converter isn't being released until NOVEMBER - uugggh. And...after "in-market testing" the Vista again, I would need to grow 2-3 inches for it to be comfortable for me.
NOW WHAT???
Enter the Bugaboo Frog...seems like a great solution...
wowsers...it's $800 (holey moley)
BUT...we really like it. It's light, has the carseat converter, comes in cool colors, I can close it myself, etc. But...$800?!?!?
LUCKY for us, we start to look on Craigslist and find a "gently used" one for a GREAT PRICE! So...off we go to pick it up on Tuesday!!
WOOHOO -- I have a stroller now!!! I am so excited about it, I think of going next door to Wes & Jean's and asking them if I can borrow Madison to push around in my stroller. LOL. Madison is their younger daughter (about 1-1/2). BUT...my co-workers have an even BETTER idea...use one of the cats to "test drive"!!
Well...as you can imagine, most cats wouldn't like being forced in a stroller and pushed around.
As you also know, Sagwa is NOT "most cats"!!!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED - We have a stroller, and it has been officially test-driven with a passenger!

Hi guys -- Can Sagwa wear one of those cute "baby" hats. I think she would look cute. I'm glad you got the stroller you wanted.
Love,

Mommy? Daddy? I'm confused. I'm Skeletor, Mommy likes something called Snoogle, and my brother or sister is a cat?!?
OK, one item down - and one more to go - the crib/bed.
Love
Mom
Wheeee, I love the Bugaboo! Thanks for letting me ride in the world's coolest stroller. The ride is much smoother than the one my parents got for me from China and I think the shocks are much better than those in my dada's car.....
Anyway, if you discover that my cousin has to have the top of the line Bugaboo, please remember that there is a close relative who would take this one off your hands.
Love,

Glad you liked the rides in the Bugaboo Hui-hui!!! I think if you work on your best "aren't I the cutest" look, Mama & Dada might get you one of your own!!
"Baby Zygote" - yes, you have two sisters that are cats and one brother that is a cat as well! Not to mention, one Aunt Lacey and one Uncle Rusty that are of feline originations as well. Smarty pants... ;) You kill me, Erik!! ha ha ha
Hi Michelle:
Baby has an Aunt Lacey and Uncle Rusty? Wow, they got a human promotion... These two cats act more human than most humans - very similar to your three wee ones. I would love to see all five meet each other one of these days. Talk about fur flying...
Love,
Mom
