So, Ethan has been dying for a scooter for some time. It does amaze me that at 1 1/2 he already has his mind set on things he would like to have for his own. When we visited Utah in May every time we went on walks he kept stealing scooters from the yards in my mom's neighborhood. Here, whenever we go outside if he see someone on a scooter he looses interest in whatever he is doing and runs over to try and wrestle his way onto the scooter. So, I finally broke down and bought him a scooter last week. I assembled it while he was napping and when he came down stairs he was so excited that he forgot all about wanting a snack. He just jumped right on and kept saying, "Outside! Outside!" It was fun to see him so happy with his scooter. To my surprise, he's actually quite a coordinated rider. The unfortunate part to the scooter story is that we have been dragging that thing around with us for days! I have to load it in the car just to get him out the door without a total meltdown. Hopefully that part of his scooter excitement will soon fade. :)
