On a walk along the Burke-Gilman trail recently, Esther and I were accompanied by a 4-year boy and his mother. Along the entire walk to the playground, this little guy made sure that I knew that Esther needed a tricycle. He even asked me when I was planning to buy it. Well, if that little boy reads this blog (ha!), he'll be happy to know that Gene and I took his suggestion. What a little salesman!!
Modeling her new helmet, elbow and knee pads. (It's a very "broken down" couture pose as they would say on "America's Next Top Model". Ahem, not that I watch that or anything.)
The new trike complete with parent steering.
After the "Great Egg Debacle of 2009," I let Esther crack a few eggs and she helped cook them. At night now, we hook up a bungee cord to the fridge door. I guess that should work until Esther figures out how to dismantle the entire refrigerator.
And here's our expert somer-saulter.
Mid "sault".

4 year olds are incredible salesmen. I'd have loved to hear his pitch. Suzi
Parent steering on a tricycle?? I seem to have missed a quantum leap in tricycles. Neil
The parent steering can be removed when the kid gets better at steering themselves (or listening to directions).
did you notice she was 3 years, 3 months, 3 weeks & 3 days old today? good day to buy a lottery ticket since your lucky number is 3 too (3/13/73).
Loved that you were awakened with a bowl of cracked eggs!!!! Makes me laugh every time I think about it:). Esther, you are looking so grown-up....Allie got her first bike for her b'day, but we don't have parental steering...kinda wish we did! Hugs to all of you...The Pannells
