Day #614 (Fri., Sept 9, 2011) – The Radio Flyer Trike

Yesterday Katie stopped saying the word “patch”. She will now say “crayons” when she hands them to you and wants to do some coloring.

My wife and mother-in-law went to a consignment sale in Apex this evening. While they were out shopping I took Katie out for a run.

The photo to the left shows the Elmo Helium Balloon I got Katie yesterday.

My initial plans were to go to the gardens near NC State. On the way there a freight train came rushing by so of course we had to park our car at Cooper’s Furniture so Katie could get out of the car and take a look. It was a long train…and Katie loved it.

There was some sort of an accident near the gardens so I could not get in. As a result I decided I would go to the playground at Bond Park. The only problem is…Katie was sleeping when we arrived. I decided I had better drive the car a bit so Katie could get a nice nap, but as soon as we left Bond Park she started to cry and squeak. I thought she was up so I went back to Bond Park. Katie was still asleep…so off we went for another car ride. This time she napped and napped and I had a good long tour of the Preston area. Once we got home I took her out of the car and she was able to see a moon.

My wife showed me what she had got at the sale…a second-hand Radio Flyer Trike…like we have been wanting for so long but could not seem to find at any of the sales. We thought we might have to buy a new one…but now we don’t have to.
