My New Car

We've mentioned before how Elliott LOVES the Cozy Coupe car.  Clothing was optional when playing in Ned's car.  When picking up Elliott at daycare one day, my dad could not get Elliott out of the car in the playground.

Jesse decided it was time for Elliott to have his own.  So, as he left for his last trip, he order the car and said to me, "good luck putting it together."  Neither one of us thought assembling a plastic car for a one year old would be difficult . . . we were wrong. 

Getting started!  Elliott had been looking at the pictures on the box for a few days.  He was thrilled to sit in it, even without wheels.

Part of the assembly team.  Aunt Sue from Boston was in town and jumped right in to help out.  

Elliott's pit crew.  Perhaps assembly was extra challenging with Elliott sitting IN the car.

What are you doing?  Oh!  My roof!

All done!  Only three adults, one iPad, one late discovery of a replacement page for the instruction, and one hour later.

We might have told him he had to get out of the car.

We now have to park the car in the office so it is out of sight, out of mind, except for playtime.  The Cozy Coupe is a hit!!
