Eli's New Toy

Last Saturday afternoon Daddy and Eli went on a man outing to the 4 wheeler store. At one point during their outing I called to ask Brian a question and got an ear full about how great the 4 wheelers are and how much Eli likes them. Brian has been talking about getting one for Eli, I thought we had just been talking until they came home.

Eli LOVES his new ride!



He wants to ride all the time. It doesn't matter that with the heat index it's over 100 degrees. He will ride around until his head is all sweaty and the sweat is stinging his eyes.



He's into posing silly in pictures right now. He's usually throwing up "toddler" signs or some sort of kung fu action pose. He's a riot!




So far he has done great with his 4 wheeler. We have had only one little accident. Daddy let him drive it around back to park it in the back garage and he didn't know how to stop and was stopped by the garage door. That left a good size dent in the garage door, but Eli wasn't hurt. Just scared him. After that Brian has been working on braking with him.

To paraphrase a line from the movie Tommy Boy , "Fat guy on a little bike."
For those of you who don't know the movie, It's a joke. Brian and I reference it quite often.
