Scooter Boy!

When Grandpa Ernst used to talk about John, his only grandson, he'd lovingly say, "If you could buy him for WHAT he was worth, and SELL him for what he THINKS he's worth, you could make a million dollars!" Well, that sums up Marshall this afternoon! He had a three-wheel scooter for about a year and was always wanting to borrow Macy's two-wheel scooter, which didn't work very well for him--because Macy wasn't willing to share it as much as he wanted her to. I told him I would buy him a new, two-wheel scooter, which he picked out yesterday. It's a "Hot Wheels Scooter," and is very COOL. He also has some brand new "Bumble Bee Transformer" shoes, so he was feeling like a million dollars this afternoon.

The funny thing is Marshall pumps with his right foot, and Macy pumps with her left foot! He was going very, very fast and has learned to lean in with his turns as well as to use the brake on the back wheel of the scooter.

Macy was putting on quite a "Scooter Show," and she even told her mom and me exactly how to "vote." If they were bad, we did thumbs down, mediocre, thumbs sideways, very good, thumbs up! And if they were VERY, VERY good, it was both thumbs up as high as we could raise our arms. Then she said if they were extra, extra good, we were to do a little cheer (thanks to the Churchill High School Cheerleader Camp!), with our arms out to the side, then up, then down, etc. We got a little confused, but did the best we could to cheer on our scooter champs! Macy, I love your helmet AND the skirt (so athletic!), and the High School Musical shoes! It's all about fashion, you know. Both kids had great fun entertaining the neighborhood this afternoon in their huge cul-de-sac....Then, came.......

SUPER DAD!!!
