Daddy's helpers

Our neighbors gave us a small two-wheeler with training wheels for E.  It has silver 'bicycle grass' that blows in the breeze hanging from the handlebars, a basket to carry treasures and best of all, it has a bell to ring.  E loves it, but she doesn't love getting 'stuck'.  The tread on the back tire is non-existent and so she spins her wheels frequently.  Jut decided to try and switch the front and back tires to give it a bit more traction.  He had lots of help with his endeavor. 
E started out 'helping' but soon lost interest.  However, X was all about helping dad and playing with all the tools in the toolbox.
When Jut left the task for a few minutes, X was more than happy to take over fixing E's bike.  He thought that he knew just what to do.
Hammers fix everything don't they?!  Hammers in the hand of a 1.5 year old is kind of scary...especially when he started swinging it.  Luckily, it didn't hit anything important or anything that would hurt.

The boys checking out the finished product.

Where did E disappear to?  Once the novelty of the fix-it project wore off, she headed over to the neighbor's house.  She and D were very contentedly playing a game or chasing each other around the yard.  The bike is fun but having a playmate is even more fun!
