Twenty-four hours after receiving his awesome new bike, Luke (the luckiest 2 year old on the planet) and I heard the doorbell ring and opened the door to this:
A total surprise from Grammy and PopPop.
His very own John Deere!!!
Our next door neighbor and best buddy Reid has one of these (which is now on its very last legs...er, wheels), so Luke knew exactly what it was and COULD NOT wait for me to get it out of the box.
Even without a seat or steering wheel and wrapped in plastic, this little Deere really made his eyes light up.
He couldn't get the plastic off fast enough.
It was really stuck on there. Look at that face.
He tried so hard to put the steering wheel on himself.
He called it the "driver'.
"Put the driver on, Mommy!"
All the parts laid out. It has a moveable bucket that goes on the front and a trailer that attaches to the back. Grammy said she ordered the one with the highest weight allowance. Wonder why?
He was so impatient that he got in trouble and was sent to time out. While he was there, I got the seat attached, and then decided to give up. There was NO WAY he was going to stay off the tractor to let me attach the bucket and trailer.
Out of time out and on top of the world!
He even insisted on eating his post-nap snack on his tractor a few hours later!
Thank you so much, Grammy and PopPop, for the most amazing present that Luke will probably ever receive. He could not be more thrilled with it!
