We finally have Brayden potty trained after months of begging, pleading, and bribing. We promised him a big present if he didn't have any accidents and it actually worked. We went out a few weeks ago looking for a power wheel or something he could drive around, but we couldn't find one we liked.
We went home and looked online and found a Caterpillar front end loader/backhoe peddle tractor at Northern Tool. We drove to the store to get it, but found out they didn't have one in stock. Brayden was devastated. The guy told me it was online only, but he looked on his computer catalog and found 279 of them at a store in South Carolina (nice distribution). He was able to get one sent to the store but it would take a week or so. So you can guess how the next week went.
Morning, Day 1: "Is my tractor here yet??"
Bedtime, Day 1: "Will my tractor be here tomorrow?"
Morning, Day 8: "When will my tractor be here!!!"
Bedtime, Day 8 "Will my tractor be here tomorrow?"
Throughout the week he had the Northern Tool catalog in his hands looking at the pictures and showing everyone who came to visit.
So it finally came, and Brayden wanted to ride it out of the store. He couldn't because it was boxed up, so I told him he could when we got home. We got it out of the car, and out of the box and saw about 150 pieces and 10 small bags filled with nuts and bolts. "Ok Brayden, you can ride it tomorrow."
