Tonight Louis got a new bike! Not just any old bike. There's a story behind it. (Isn't there always with me :))Louis had outgrown his bike this summer. It actually looked like he was riding Cole's bike, it was kind of funny. But it worked. He decided he didn't want it anymore, so he THREW IT AWAY! That's right, lifted it up and threw it in the garbage can. What?
So, when he decided he wanted a new bike, we were like, huh? so, Ross came up with the brilliant plan. He decided that we would pay Louis $1 per job and he needed to do 40 jobs to earn 1/2 (ha) of his new bike. Man, I have never had a more helpful son. But, I was also forking out a buck for jobs like, picking up a towel off the floor and getting Cole down from his chair. But, boy was he helpful.
He was darling when we went to get his new bike. Just this big cheeser of a smile and so proud of it. It is a little bit big for him, but it cost as much as a used Volvo. We decided he will be riding it until his mission!
He is incredibly proud of this darn thing! Let's see how long until it gets left on the lawn and watered by the sprinklers or run over by a mom in a hurry! Hopefully not! Congrats Lou for working so hard and being responsible!
