Towing Spencie

I think this afternoon Spencie officially declared himself done with the "baby" power wheels tractor.  The past few times we've taken the tractors out of the garage, the twins have elbowed their way onto the two big ones before I've even had a chance to unplug them, leaving Spencer the little, (and relatively) wimpy one.  Surprisingly, he seems to have accepted this birth order ranking assignment (definitely not the case when it comes to other toys inside the house) and patiently waits for a turn.  Prior to today, he's always given a go at trying to keep up on the smaller one, but has discovered that this effort is futile as the bigger tractors leave him at least half to 3/4 of a driveway length in the dust.  So today he decided to hold on and walk behind Oliver's tractor.  When he tired of that he settled for rides in the wagon from both Owen and Oliver, who both kindly obliged given Spencie's new self-relegated status.  I even heard Owen ask him several times, "Baby, you want a ride?"  In the end, all he had to do was drag out a few other choice toys to catch the twins' interest and a big boy tractor was all his.  Owen sneaked one of Daddy's screw drivers out of the garage and was pretending to "work on and fix" his tractor (there's nothing wrong with it), but did make sure to tell me that he knew it was a grownup tool!   Look at that face as he hides it behind his back after he discovered I was taking pictures of him playing with it.  And lastly, a couple pictures of curly head :)
