Brett has wanted to get Emma a tricycle for awhile now. This Sunday, on our way home from church, Emma holds up an old receipt in the backseat and yells "shopping!" Brett, in all his daddy-gush glory obliges to her enthusiasm and stops by the first Target we see insisting that this is the day she gets her tricycle. Emma went all shy and passively reached toward the box when daddy asks her if she would like red or pink. I think she knew we were acting impulsively and irresponsibly considering her birthday is a month away. She was really excited about her own helmet, though. The nice lady at the register cut off all the tags so she could wear it out of the store... and all the way home. She squealed and danced watching Brett assemble her bike when we got back to the house. Watching her beam with anticipation made it even more exciting for us!
The two of them were so proud riding up and down the block. They have both been watching the other children in the neighborhood ride around with their daddy's with longing looks in their eyes. I love watching my husband get so excited about teaching her new things.
What a wonderful way to end our weekend!
