S is for Schwinn Roadster

Santa Claus visited our house over the weekend and brought Caleb a Schwinn Roadster Tricycle. Needless to say he was in love at first sight, or so he seemed. He played with it for about five seconds and then discovered that Santa had also brought a Fisher Price Airplane - between the two gifts it was all we could do to draw his attention back to his other presents. We knew he would love the airplane because ever since Paige sent it to our nursery children it is all he thinks about. The moment we arrive at church he starts saying "airplane" and continues to do so all the way through our services until he can finally get it in his hot little hands.

Caleb and his "trike" as he calls it - we didn't know he knew that word

after a quick adjustment his feet now reach the pedals, but we're still
working on understanding how they function

more fun with the trike

THE AIRPLANE!!!
(he wanted to but was not allowed to take it with him to bed last night)

momentarily distracted by the promise of candy

another superfluous gift

a winning combo!

The lesson here is that nearly 2-year olds are easily satisfied with very little and these elves went WAY, WAY overboard. Some presents are still unopened and that is how they will remain until they are donated to some other worthy cause.
