The Big One

It is over 2 months away, but I can't stop thinking about it!  I already have a couple of gifts (great bargains I couldn't pass up in after-Christmas sales!), and I have found another.

I had seen these things in a movie not too long ago, and then again at a friend's house last week.  I already had it on my mind to scout out for Eli, but the little boy owner of this toy loved his... it made me want to buy one for Eli right then!


I think I might wait until his actual birthday to post a pic of it (I'm sure you'll have forgotten about it by that point!), but that way if Eli reads my blog, it won't ruin the surprise!  ;)  Of course he's already reading.  Weren't you all at 9.5 months? 

Hints:

• It's rubber and about as big as a medium-sized dog.  Perfect for riding.

• It's white with black spots.  If it were to make sounds (which I don't think it does) it would perhaps say "Moo".  

• Due to its construction, it is perfect for "bouncing" around the house.

• It has horse relatives (which are far more common and come in great colors), but Bill thinks those are weird looking and of course would prefer a more authentic looking farm animal.  We're all shocked at that, aren't we. 

• I have a feeling it will be popular for a couple of years, as Eli might take a bit to understand its potential.

Any guesses?   :)  Luckily, Eli hasn't figured out how to read the comments section.  ;)

Love!
