Neighborhood clean up

While headed out to play on his bike (hence the helmet), Zeke decided that the neighborhood needed a little cleanup. He insisted on taking out his play vacuum and pushing it down the driveway. And up the street. And around the corner. To another street. Hey, free to be you and me, I say. And, I did take off the helmet when it became apparent there was not going to be any bike riding, so Zeke didn't look like a complete alien during our very long walk/vacuum. Aaron feels this might have shortened the life of the play vacuum, but that doesn't seem like such a terrible thing given the little annoying song it plays.


This is what it looks like when the helmet is being put to the use for which it was intended: riding his new balance bike.

I say let them clean while they still enjoy it - haha! Bella loves to play with her toy vaccum as well. I did a post recently of Bella cleaning her bed of any mean monsters.

Zeke is so cute and getting SO big!

Who doesn't love a man who knows how to use a vacuum? Zeke is learning to how to endear himself with the ladies already!

Love that balance bike idea. The first I heard of them was when you mentioned you found this one for Zeke's birthday. Hmmm . . . maybe learning on this balance bike would have prevented my Chris' collision with the mailbox on his first ride on his two wheeler!
