Making Mommy Laugh

Oh my son!

Yesterday at his parks play class, my son claimed a riding toy (pictured below) when about 8 various ride-ons were set out.

Looks like your everyday ride-on toy, right? Well, he claimed it and wouldn't relinquish his claim the rest of class. He first rode it on the soft mat they put out for class, but he quickly ventured onto the basketball floor. The class is in a large open gym of a local park. They put a curtain up to separate the two basketball courts they've got. They put down a huge area mat where the kids have their climb-on toys.

Anyway, my son started riding on the basketball floor. It's flat. It's slick. There's definitely NO drag in comparison to carpet (which we've got at our house). He had a BLAST! He'd push it with his chunky legs and the thing would goooooo..... By the end of class he was pushing off with his feet and leaning his body forward. Then he'd lean back and pull his legs up in front of him in a spread eagle v-body position. His little hands would be holding onto the handle bars. And he was saying "Wwweeee!!!!" I was giggling so hard!
