not our every day new rider

Kano, that is just soooo cute

We finally have a niece/nephew - who happens to be a nephew - and although he is only 7months old, we have had many discussions about when he'll be able to get on his first bike, which bike we are going to get him, how much fun it will be . Fortunately, Dave and Tanya (his parents) are very cool and very obliging and indulge us in these fantasies.

So your story is just gorgeous! i'm going to send it to them to enjoy

So, so cuuuute! My favorite part is the booger in the pocket. If that shows up in a kid's book, you know latelate stole it!!

joke: What's the difference between boogers and broccoli?
answer: Kids won't eat broccoli.

(I called my ma to tell her that joke. When I asked her the question, she paused and asked, "Honey, are you trying to cook something?" )

JuJu -- good idea looking for a web site with a potential owner's manual. Don't know why it didn't occur to me, since that's where all my owner's manuals are "stored" these days!

DebW -- Thank you again for great insight! I will be sure to note if there's a left & right wheel!

Tater -- I hope everyone had a good laugh! I keep wondering, where does your commute take you each morning, and hoping you have great bike lanes the whole route! There's some spooky, narrow, shoulderless, high traffic areas on my way to just about everywhere!

Anika -- I remember having one of those for our oldest. It's a bit spooky to have the kid up there! Or was it the little one, cuz the big kid had a bike already?

Eclectic -- at least the broad base of the trailer gives the kid a bit better chance of staying up right, but even nutsier, I think, is parents who make sure the kids have helmets, but don't have their own!

LateLate -- Xander does eat broccoli, and yes, boogers too, with great relish!

And to all -- I'm glad you've enjoyed my little indulgence in sharing my grandson with you all! He's quite a character, and we will likely have many more silly biking stories in the future!
