Tractor Ride


We have a large lawn, which we mow with a rider mower. When Steve mows, he gives the boys tractor rides on the mower (not while the mower is on.) The boys love the mower, and are more than a little excited by the John Deer logo.

You never know how a kid will react to actually riding on a tractor. Nick gets nervous, but he loves it. Nathan, our louder and more daring child, acts excited, but gets too nervous to ever actually get on. He shakes and then changes his mind. I expected Andy to start to cry once we got near the thing. After all, it is pretty loud. But Andy let me pass him over to his dad with no problem. In fact, the first thing he did was reach for the steering wheel. During the whole ride around the house he kept trying to drive, something neither of the other boys have ever done.

Go figure.
