Putting It All Together

It was the Gremlin's birthday yesterday, and the combination of the Gremlin getting everything he wanted and sugar resulted in a situation similar to this. The Mother and Father of the Gremlin, having to clean up the aftermath of the Little Engine That Could Consume Sugar, we failed to have time to wrap all the presets that were shipped. One such present was a balance bike from Aunt Jessica and Uncle Zach.

The Gremlin saw this bike and began jumping and shouting his excitement. So much so, the MOTG tried to put it together. The Gremlin had several thoughts on this, but only one that was voiced.

"Momma, I think we should wait for daddy."
 "I'm pretty sure I can do it, buddy, there are only three parts to it."

"See, momma? You should have waited for daddy!"

When I returned home and was able to take a look, it was apparent the MOTG was extremely close, and just not familiar with the method the assembly team on the balance bike was familiar with. This was not as apparent to the Gremlin

"Oh thank you daddy! You saved the day!"

He continued this throughout the next few days as he'd tell people

"My daddy made this bike for me because my momma couldn't do it."
