This third baby presents me with an opportunity to finally purchase something I’ve been wanting to purchase for years — a wagon. I’ve no idea why I find the possession of a wagon essential to one’s childhood experience, but now that we can afford one and actually have a garage to store it in, I’m leaping at the opportunity.

This is the one I have my eye on. (Do you have a favorite wagon? If so, what kind is it?)

My husband says he’s thrilled we can finally get for Christmas what I’ve always wanted. Clearly, the wagon is more for me than the baby.

Searching for the best priced wagon reminded me of an article I read last week about the price wars between Wal-mart and Amazon. For reasons that are far too many to list, I am a Wal-mart hater. It’s not the store itself the bothers me — it’s corporate Wal-mart and their labor and employment practices. I’m pulling for Amazon all the way in this war.
