Mr. Fix-It



Ethan has always enjoyed "fixing" things. When he was about three years old, I bought this electric car at a garage sale for $5 to see if you could replace the battery and get it going. We never actually got the car to move on its own, but Ethan spent hours "working" on his car. So, I didn't really pay much attention to him as he was working on his bike. I was too busy taking pictures of the kids in the beautiful spring weather to be concerned with such mundane things as what he was actually doing. Before I knew it he had removed the reflectors from his bike and reattached them to his scooter. All by himself. Some of you may be concerned about his bike's lack of night-time visiblity -don't be. He doesn't actually ride the bike. But he does ride the scooter constantly. For years I had been looking forward to the day when he could not only take something apart but also put something back together. That day has arrived! There is no telling what he will "fix"next :)
