All is Right with the World...

Because Ethan now has one of these:

See, before Ethan had one of these:
He was a cranky, pouty, tantrum-y mess of a thing.

Now, he happily gets in and out of his Cozy Coupe, opening and shutting the door, checking the stickers to make sure they are still adequately stuck, filling up the gas, and dumping his sippy of water into the back storage compartment. He is proficient at pushing the car backwards with his feet, but he has yet to quite figure out the whole forward motion. The wheels are still a bit stiff, so in a few days, I'm sure he'll be speeding up and down our driveway. Thank god it's shaded because I think I've seen what my summer is going to look like. And it looks like this:

"Baby, you can drive my car..." Oh wait, no you can't. It's mine. All mine...

"Um, can we trim these vines down a bit? They're really messing with my ride...

Ethan makes random attempt to free himself from the car, but, siren-like, it lures him back...

Car fueled by Ethan. Ethan fueled by Starbucks blended lemonade...


Because the orange crocs crack me up...

Fill 'er up! With screwdriver juice, apparently?


Finally, unadulterated joy. I'll take that, thanks!

Aww, what a happy boy!

I love the Starbucks shot. I think you two will fit in just fine in LA! Haha.

Yay for Cozy Coupes! Peyton is in l-o-v-e with hers, too. I lurve the new pictures of Ethan. He's getting so big. The CA sun definitely suits him. :)

So cute! What s it with those things? I had one when I was little, and they're still cool-- that's like the only toy that survived the trends all these years (I mean what the heck happened to the Pogo Ball? and Cabbage patch Kids? Not so awesome anymore.)

LOVE the orange Crocs-- Harry's are a silly blue, and they also crack me up.

Looks beautiful in LA!!

They have two of those cars at our park and Jack thnks they are his and his alone and there are scary tantrums and high-pitched whining when another kid plays with them.

He looks to be enjoying LA!

Too cute! My little guy loved playing with that car at the hospital waiting room just before his ear tube surgery. We don't have one, but we have a Radio Flyer trike that he adores.
