Training Wheels Included

W is to craigslist like I am to yard sales. And he's totally great at finding a steal-of-a-deal.

We've upgraded E's trike to a real bike, with training wheels and all. E is in absolute heaven! The bike is basically new with the tags still attached and the deal also included a helmet, which E desperately needed a replacement. The night we picked it up, E didn't want to get off to head back home. On the entire ride back he'd point to the back of the car {trunk} and say, "bike!" or hold out his helmet and say, "hel-met!" It was pretty awesome. 

And you can probably guess where we've been spending most of our days this week...{Laundry, you're gonna have to fold yourself!} The kid only comes inside for food and drink.

I think W knew I'd be taking pictures on this morning and wanted to make sure E was matchy-matchy with his new ride. ;)
