he's got a new ride

Easton has been working on getting a new bike. He has been riding his big-wheel around for the last year and a half. We did a prize chart and for every extra thing he did, he got a sticker.

The finished prize chart.
The new bike. He was so excited. On the way to the store, I was telling him the store might have to put it together, so we might not get to take it home right away. We were in the bike section, he picked out the yellow and red one, and a salesclerk came to help us. Easton walks right up to him and says, "So, how does this work? Do we take this one, or do you have another one that we put together, or do you put it together and we come back and get it?" The clerk kind of laughed and said, "Have you been here before?" We did have to come back the next day to pick up the assembled one, but Easton understood that and didn't complain.

He wanted to go straight to Grandma's to show her the new bike and rode it in her driveway for a minute.

That night, after dinner, we went outside and he rode for an hour in our cul-de-sac. It was awesome.



He is one happy boy.
