I started writing this 6 years ago when my son was 2 and for the life of me I cant find a higher res image, but thought it would be fund to post regardless.
Having your first child can be hard on your ego. My son born in a neighborhood full of little girls the same age wanted nothing more than to play with the girls and push baby strollers around. I didn’t really have a problem with the concept of my boy pushing a baby stroller around, but I also didn’t want to buy one being they only come in pink. (my EGO)
Then came the opportunity where one of the neighbor girls had an extra one, but the wheels were falling off (they drove them hard around our cul-de-sac like NASCAR was in season). Being a maker at heart, I took the worn out stroller, painted her red, but some aluminum nerf bars and 8 off road wheels from an old RC car and BAM!; my boy had the coolest stroller among his peers. Even the girls liked it. 🙂
Don’t let your ego get in the way of children having fun, but sometimes it can kick start your own creativity they can all celebrate.
