Story at the end of the night with Uncle Bryan. As you can see Grady is totally exhausted, sitting nice and listening to the story, oh wait that's Isabel! Grady is acting like a goof and only lasted 5 min with the story. Silly Boy!

BIKE!

We finally got Grady a "balance bike" (aka Running Bike, Push Bike etc). In other words no pedals. We let him choose between the pedalled variety and this one. he chose this smaller one. I for one am glad as he can concentrate on steering amd and staying up rather than pedalling, steering staying on etc. It means a lot less bending over to help on my part. He loves this little bike. For those of you who are interested it was only $59.99 at Sportchek. On Sunday we rode all the way to the park to play at watch Daddy exercise the dogs.Biker Dude!
I'm sure this bike will be a fixture in the car soon as I can guess that Grady will want to take it everywhere he can.

Smooth riding!
