I don't normally talk about family, what happened during the day, etc.... but this I had to share.
This AM we decide to head over to toy-r-us to see if we can find a radio flyer wagon for my 18 month old son. After telling Nicholas that we are planning to go, I ask him to get his shoes:
We head over to toys-r-us, and find that radio flyer wooden red wagons are....$150. Yikes!
Of course, we mosy over to the bicycles and scooter stuff first....where mr Nicholas finds this:
He starts looking at it, smiling that big toothy grin of his.
Wait a minute....no way he is looking at it pretty carefully:
I was SO FREAKING PROUD!
Dad and Nicholas checking out the bike:
Looking like he's going to tuck in:
The kid is a year and a half for crying out loud....I dunno much about the age when kids start to do things, but he seems pretty young
I learned all my mechanical skills by actually wrenching on things when I turned 16, because I couldn't afford to pay someone else to do what I wanted to do. I learned how to TIG weld when I was 22 by going out and buying a welder, and burning up a lot of metal.
I'm not going to push him into anything he doesn't want to do. But I can only imagine how good I might have been at some of these things had I learned them from someone while growing up. I can't wait to teach this little guy all I can (providing he wants to learn it).
