Furniture & Appliance Shopping with Two Preschoolers...

Today Andrew and I decided to try pricing out appliances for the new house. It's a bit overwhelming online because you can't open fridges or peer inside dishwashers. And the sheer volume of items online...it's impossible to weed through!

So this morning we headed to The Brick to try and narrow down the field. We made the mistake of wandering through the furniture section first. Actually, our first mistake was telling Davey that now that he's too long for his toddler bed, we'd be looking for a new big boy bed for him. And that he could choose. So of course, after claiming numerous couches and living room sets were 'perfect', they saw the kids section and went racing off.

No surprises that Elisabeth picked this set as hers. Apparently she went from one item to the next, "This is my table. And this light, is mine. And this is mine bed..."


The biggish surprise was this:

Davey's been very adamant that he wants another race car bed. And right next to this (sweet) bed was a very cool race car bed. But oh no, he went racing to this, stopping just long enough to tear off his shoes, jumped up the ladder and threw himself on the mattress with a loud, "Now THIS is what I've been looking for!!"
