This is a picture of a little car that we have in the backyard. (No-it is not our kid in the picture. I had to download one from the ToysRUs webpage.) As a sidenote, ours also has a long handle on the back so parents can push it along.
I call this car the Flintstone car because the kids have to push it along with their feet. Just like Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble.
For the last few days Matthew has been trying and trying to get into the car. This afternoon he finally made it in. Of course, that's because I put him in there. Once he was in he was very happy and content sitting there and holding onto the steering wheel.
Pretty soon James noticed he was in the car and tried to kick him out. Sadly, mom wouldn't let him so he decided to go another route.
James embraced the moment as big brother. He grabbed the handle and decided to take Matthew for a ride. He pushed him all the way around the patio and intermittently pulled down on the handle creating a "wheelie." Matthew was cracking up and James was having a lot of fun being the big brother.
These guys are gonna have lots of fun together.

Isabel loves that car too! I think she and James fight over it whenever we are over. Unfortunately Isabel's definition of 'sharing' is 'give it to me, its my turn'. Maybe one of these days she'll learn what it really means, at least before she gets married and moves out! :)
James and Eli fought over that car (as well as any other outside, ride-in toy you had)! My favorite part was when James decided to just sit on Eli and "ride together"!
Oh, good times!
