First there was the boy and the wheel on a stick.

Wheel on a Stick

The boys rolled the wheel on a stick.

Then the boy ran with the wheel on a stick.

Wheel Running #1

The boys zigged and zagged with the wheel on a stick.

And the boy smiled.

Joy of a wheel on a stick

 

A few weeks ago Gramps got out the “seeder” a nifty contraption that allows you to put seeds in a compartment turn the dial to the right seed and wheel it down the row to plant. Lil’B grabbed it and wheeled away with it. Unfortunately it’s a tool and not really meant to zip through the garden at little boy mph’s. There is a gear piece to it that is delicate give its age. So we had to stop him. Later than night Gramps and I got to talking about the upcoming Birthday when Gramps said “I should make him a wheel for the garden.” I agreed and in fact pushed him to do it. Such a simple gift but such a wonderful one too. The little wheel on stick has zipped in our garden, wheeled around the front yard and already experience two “accidents” necessitating a trip to the repair shop. The great thing about that is a simple gift is also simple to repair and before you know Lil’B is back zipping around the place again with his wheel on a stick.
