The big 2!

My little fella is turning two in about a week. He is in love with bikes. I must hear the word bike and the word bicycle 50 times a day. Motorcycles, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, mopeds, all qualify for him as bikes.
A while back a neighbor was throwing stuff from their garage into a truck to take to the dump. Among other things, there was an adorable two seater tricycle. A bit rusty with a ripped seat and a busted front wheel. There was no way I could let it go to the dump so I took it home and put it in my shed. 
I decided for his birthday I am going to fix it up. I have already painted all the silver parts with Rustoleum silver paint so the rust is gone. I have sewn a cover for the back seat and have a cover all pinned for the drivers seat, ready to be sewn. I wish I could construct some sort of awning for it. That would take the cake. We have a friend who says he can weld the wheel for us to make it rideable.
