A SLIDE!!! It is so much fun! Mommy got it at a yard sale a couple of years ago and was storing it in the attic until almost two months ago. Then, one day I went down for a nap and woke up to see that Mommy and Daddy put a giant slide together IN THE HOUSE! Yes, they will both deserve "World's Best __" coffee mugs for Christmas.
Mommy helped me look on the Little Tikes website today, and we don't think they sell this model anymore. I think lots of toy companies sell similar models, though, so I'm not necessarily reviewing this specific slide as much as I'm just reviewing the concept of having an indoor slide built for young tots.
Let me tell you about this slide! It has three steps on the side that you climb to get to the top. Then, you sit on your bottom and slide down. You can also crawl underneath the slide, and it's like a little fort. I've only done that once, though, because I'd rather just slide!
You have to be careful, though, because you will get into trouble and your grownups will threaten to remove it if you stand at the top of the slide. You must sit on your bottom immediately. They will also get mad if you stand at the top and try to walk down the slide. I think I tried that once. I kinda tumbled forward and would have done an unexpected somersault if Mommy wasn't there to catch me. I must admit that it was fun, but Mommy did not have a happy look on her face. I've learned and do it the right way now.
Mommy and Daddy pulled out this slide at the perfect time: I was 16 months old. I was already getting good with climbing and enjoying going down slides at the park. It took me a couple of days to learn how to go down the slide without my feet slowing me down. Daddy put socks on my feet, and that helped. Then I just learned to pick up my feet, and I went really fast down the slide! So, tots, please tell your grownups to get you a slide and set it up inside so you can play on it anytime, day or night, rain or shine. I guarantee it will be the biggest hit in your house!
