Month 6, Day 17: Dad's Day

It was a good day. After Dad opened his gifts, we wolfed down pancakes and french toast at the Original Pancake House and took a leisurely trip to Target where Max got a Radio Flyer and tried out some convertible car seats (he's looking for an upgrade pretty soon). In what might become a tradition every Father's Day, Dad put together Max's new toy, and we took it out for a test drive. It was a while before Max got over his suspicion (suspicion of what, we're not sure) and was enjoying the ride by the end. You'll note that Max has an extra "homemade" safety strap (Dad's belt); the wagon is designed for children over a year and a half old, but apparently we're the adventurous sort. By the way, the wagon has a CANOPY and SEATS and CUPHOLDERS (which Max used as a footrest)! Where were such luxuries when we were kids? We were burnt to a crisp and had to deal with metal poking into our backs. Old school! Today's kids have it easy.

Dad's first experience of putting together a toy for Max.

Max NOT liking the wagon as we go out the door...


Max... suspicious, holding on for dear life... not cracking a smile no matter what we tried...

Dad and Max zipping along...

Max starting to enjoy himself, although I wonder if chewing on a towel had anything to do with it!
