Holdyn (and Hadley I guess you could say!) is the proud new owner of a mini cooper thanks to Great Granddaddy! He called this morning (out of the blue) and decided Holdyn needed a big ride on car. Granddaddy did not know, but Holdyn has been asking for one of these type vehicles for 2 years!! He was thrilled to hear the news when I picked him up from school!! He had several to choose from and his only requirement was that it had to be a 2 seater.
2 Peas in a Pod! DooDa and Holdyn now have the same exact car! Holdyn thought that was pretty cool!
This is what we started with.... I thought to myself ' It can't be THAT bad to put together' ... right?
Still looking pretty simple... I can do this!
I had LOTS of help and after what seemed like an eternity only maybe 2 full hours and one trip to the mailbox to 'get some fresh air' because mommy was about to throw the car out the window (It took me 30 minutes for one tricky screw!!) we finally accomplished our mission! Only one problem was the car has no seatbelts... a HUGE problem for Holdyn! He noticed the one in the store didn't have them installed. I told him it was probably because it was on display, but I was sure the one we brought home in the big box would contain seat belts... well... gues what... it didn't!! Dooda is gonna be creative and come up with a seat belt because Holdyn was very concerned about this missing item! At least he has safety on his mind!
HoHo did pretty good on his first driving lesson. He only got to take it out for a test drive because it is supposed to charge for 24 hours. The real fun will begin tomorrow I suppose! Question is, will I be able to get him out of that thing!
