An Early Birthday Gift
A few weeks ago Miranda showed up with an early birthday gift for Dean. Her husband Dave and I share a passion for coupon clipping and amazing deals. They happend to come across a steal of a deal on the Little Tykes Cozy Coupe and thought of Dean when they purchased one for Gavin. Matt and I are very thankful for the gift and so touched that they would think of Dean.
I was eager for Matt to assemble the coupe for Dean. Friday afternoon Matt and Dean got busy assembling the little car. Unfortunately the car was a little more difficult to assemble than we imagined. After a few play breaks with Dean we were finally able to complete all 32 steps of the assembly process. Dean LOVES his ride and has enjoyed playing with it daily. After a few weeks of work he has learned how to scoot himself across the patio in the coupe. I’m extremely thankful for this as I was getting tired of motoring Dean around the backyard. I would have to stay that the Coupe is Dean’s favorite backyard toy!
Thank you Dave, Miranda and Gavin for such a great gift!
On a side note…this experience has made us think twice about future Christmas gifts. Matt and I determined that we would purchase very few “assembly required” items to put together Christmas night!
