New Car

Nope, not for us (thankfully, the Beast is still going strong, otherwise I would break out into hives and start throwing things)...for Gabe!

Ellie has a tricycle, and try as Gabe will, he just can't reach the pedals.  So, Brian found him a Crazy Coupe, which, according to Uncle Jeremy, is the top selling car in America.  Take that, Henry Ford.

The best part is that Ellie and I put the car together while Gabe was napping.  Yes, you read that correctly.  I didn't want Ellie taking it for granted that assembling things is a "daddy job," but, whoa, when I saw all the pieces I really thought we were in trouble.  But thanks to the handy-dandy VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS (did you hear that, Ikea?) we made short work of it.  And we only had these pieces left over!

By 6pm both kids were wheeling down the street in front of our house.  Bliss all around.
