w/w - sentimental


When I was ONE... My grandad went and bought me a tricycle.
Obviously, I did not need it forever!
So, my mom gave it to her friend to let her daughter (and later on, her son) use it...


How sweet is this?
She kept it and has now given it to Broxton!!!!
Yes, I will be 31 next month....
This sucker is OLD!!!!

    How cool is that to still have something from your own childhood. I hope your little guy has a blast with his little tricycle.

    That trike is probably better made than the ones nowadays. Maybe your grandkids will use it too!
