The Bike That Jack Built
Don and I were in the garage last night and looked over at little Jack's bicycle. We realized that he has slowly given his bike a makeover. It happened so slowly that we hadn't realized it. Almost like when you see your friends children and comment on how much they have grown and your friend says "Oh, do you think so?"
And so we see:
The Christmas Teddy Bear Grandma and Grandpa gave Jack when he was two years old tied on the bicycle with a string from his string art kit.
The pinwheel he got from a loot bag fastened with way too much packing tape.
Dollar store horn that toots an extremely irritating toot.
Two foam balls, one stuffed into the horn and the other in the handle bars.
About ten spoke beads left over from Ben's reign with the bike.
All together it creates quite an impression. That's my Jack!

Daddy Adventures
These boys have one of the best Dads around. To give you an idea, when I had Ben I was quite ill afterwards and Don was the one who did all the night feedings. When I went back to work he became a member of the 'Mommy group' formed by some girlfriends of mine. He never sent the boys to daycare even when he worked nights the night before and he plays Hotwheels, Lego, and trains until the boys are done. He is as hands on as they come.
Last night after Daddy got home from work he decided to take the boys to the school yard to see if there were any puddles that needed bicycles driven through them. Ben and Jack were more than happy to oblige!
