This weekend was like every other, a Daddy / Daughter weekend.
It started like any other with Daddy and I spending the morning playing with blocks, drawing and of course, jumping on the bed (Daddy didn't jump because he is lame) and of course going for an afternoon nap. We already had plans for the afternoon and that was to go to a shopping center so I could run around and slide in their park and then go for the traditional weekend coffee with Daddy. It would have been a great day to have done this.
But, there was a surprise in store and, it came in a box.
I do, I do...
Bt when I saw how many parts there were in there I was unsure whether the project would ever see the light of day as I have built a lot of Lego with Daddy and let's just say, his building skills have a bit to be desired. Yet, he was adamant that he would be able to complete the task before Mummy came home and before I went to bed.
As you can see by my face, I was skeptical to say the least.
Luckily though Daddy had a foregirl that was on point in keeping the project running on schedule and making sure that all the important pieces fell into place at the time they were required. You can see me here inspecting one of the critical components that if not handled with care and timed to perfection, could slip through the cracks or be damaged beyond repair.
It also made a great hat.
I have to admit, say what you want about my Daddy, he did deliver on this particular project and in relatively short order, his Daddy-ing task was complete and ready for inspection from the quality manager where it surprisingly passed with flying pink and purple colors.
Of course, Daddy left all of the important decisions up to me when putting in the purchase orders for materials and components and as I have a penchant for high-end bling, my security system was upgraded from a cat to a ferocious dog which will keep my bike safe on the mean streets of the Finnish suburbs. I swear, when I grow up I am likely to become a rapper.
Finally and just as Mummy walked in the door, I got to hang a bone and go rolling on my new ride through the living room and entrance. I have some kick-butt suspension trainer wheels which mean I am not going to fall off and brakes that are automated when I peddle backwards. The only real issue is that it is slightly too large for me and peddling backwards is easier than forwards. I will get the hang of i soon enough though and started to get it when we went cruising through the building stairwell.
Not to leave it unfinished, I settled on a helmet that would match the bodywork on the bike and will make all the people driving cars jealous. How many other people have a pink squirrel helmet? Pimp my bike.
Tomorrow Daddy promised that we could take it for more of a spin and I hope that means we can go outside although, I don't really want to get it dirty now that it is looking so fresh and so clean. Let's see, perhaps I will keep stalking the living room with it for a little longer before breaking it out on the neighborhood when the weather clears up a bit.
See you on the streets.
