Scooter!

Kate loves her new scooter despite the fact it isn't pink. She can go really fast on it!! I have to take a video. We have spent many a happy hour on the bike path...and in the hallway


Kate would get off every so often to hand me a pine cone "Because they make you sooo happy, Mama"





and we usually end up at the playground where I have to carry the thing around with me so the other kids won't use it. We usually have a rule about toys and the playground: if it comes, we have to share it. But, I really don't want her new scooter to look like the scooters left at the park...and it is her birthday present. But I I feel like a jerk denying every eager kid that comes up to me begging to use it...
