Tired --- sooooo tired-- Just became a Soccer Dad and I am proud of it. Bought ourselves a van. :D More later it's late.

Well, instead of the cool and sleek looking Batman mobile, we are shopping for a Baby Mobile AKA Family Van! We've been looking for the past couple months and been talking about it ever since we've found out that we're expecting. I have NO issue of being a soccer mom and Chhimi has NO issue on being a soccer dad. In fact, I think we've been looking forward to this for a very long time...to start a family of our own that is.
So Baby Mobile....we're a loyal Toyota family. Don't really know why except Chhimi really likes it and I like the durability of it compared to the "American" brands like Ford, Chrysler, etc. So we're looking into the Toyota Sienna LE (8-passenger) van. We also compared it with another import, the Honda Odessey and it definitely was a very close call given the extra .2 extra HP that the Honda gives and the Lazy Susan hidden tray, and lots of nice little power features like double powered sliding doors. But we're going to stick with the Toyota Sienna since it was more affordable (didn't want the leather seats in the Honda EX-L, figured we can just lots of PLASTIC around the baby seat!! LOL!) and Chhimi felt he was more comfortable with in their carseats and the middle carseat can inch closer to the front seats for easy baby access! :-) hee hee
In fact, we're going to the dealership this evening to see if we like the ones they have in stock and if so... Baby Mobile will be ours...after financing. Although I really hate the fact that we will have a car payment but both of our cars are growing old and we definitely need something reliable for the growing years of Baby Chhimi.

Man, I wish we had a minivan! And the Sienna and Odessey are the ones we'd be looking at, too. After mocking them for so long, now that I'm a daddy I can see how unbelievably practical they are when you have a kid. Just be sure to get one with a kegerator!! Those are also practical when you have a kid :-P
