Tykes & Trikes

Here it is, the coveted new tricycle. Not bad for $12 huh? That's right, can you believe it. I'm telling you those consignment sales are gold mines. Grandpa aired up the tires and shined up the crome. She rolled it right out of the garage. It even has a wood Schwinn nameplate on the back.

She can technically reach the pedals but isn't ready for that step just yet. That won't keep her stationary though, she loves steering herself around whether she's motering herself Flintstone sytle forward or backwards. Hemi even makes the moter sounds.

Here she is with her other favorite toy, a green garden cart. She loads it with stuffed animals and pushes them around the house or yard(it'll be for gardening this spring). Lately we don't leave home without it. She loads it and off we go to Grandma and Grandpa's house to show and tell.

And fiinally, Tomato is feeling a little left out in the love department. Hemi fixes it. They are totally related with those strawberry blonde locks. He is the one that listens to Hemi all the time. She leads him everywhere and he loves it. I caught Laundry (our dark mahogany dog) wandering into Hemi's room today while I was putting her down for a nap. She had snuck in from the garage and was tiptoeing so carefully. It was really cute and Hemi was happy to see her before I escorted her back out. You can see Laundry at www.octoberskies.webs.com under Mahogany Moon.

Hemi has officially had a growth spurt. Another shoe size (5) and into 18 mo old pants. She is suddenly sporting high waters wherever we go this week. Time to go shopping.
