Little boy/man

Toby is changing so much. There is this fierce independence that frustrates me while at the same time makes me proud. He is getting smarter in the ways of adults and can understand many of the little tricks we pull to get our kids to do what we want.

For a long time he has had this little red tricycle. Honestly I think Grammy bought it for him when he just turned 2. He has ridden that little bike by pushing it with his feet. We were starting to think he was like bike challenged or something. Grammy pushed him around with her cane on the back of his little cargo hold which was pretty funny to watch. Now one day I went to pick him up from school and saw the strangest site... there was little ol Toby riding a tricycle around on the bike track. He was not pushing with his feet... oh no, the little trickster had figured out how to ride the bike the right way... but didn't let on at all at home. But he ratted on himself yesterday on accident and now, well, he spent about 8 hours riding in circles in Grammy's house today. And out in the parking lot. And on the sidewalk. Little stinker!
