Oversized Load Coming Through!!

Last week Nathan started trying to pull (tow) stuff with his "zoom-zoom" ride-on toy. He tried shoving the handle of his wagon and then his rolling musical toy underneath the zoom-zoom, but of course they would stay behind as he scooted away. Daddy helped him out by fashioning a "trailer hitch" to attach the wagon to the zoom-zoom. And has that ever been one of the best things he could have done for Nathan!!

Nathan began towing the wagon around the house…

…then he needed to add a few items to his “trailer”.  First off, his tape measure and shoes…

…and that was sufficient for about a few seconds.

Then Nathan decided he needed some tools.

And from there, the sky was the limit!  Dada showed him how to hook the handle of his rolling music toy to the back of the wagon, which Nathan then decided would be the perfect ramp for loading his lawn mower!  (I’m sure all this resulted from seeing Granddad’s truck and trailer a few weekends ago, and then the loading of the Oldsmobile on the trailer for the trip back to Knoxville.)

After Dada convinced him that his ramp plan wasn’t going to work, Nathan decided that brute force was the best way to load that lawn mower.  (I guess he also sees yard men on our street with lawn mowers on their trailers.)

A good driver always checks to make sure the load that he’s towing is secure!

Occasionally, the trailer hitch needs to be inspected and adjusted.

How happy is this kid with his  new purpose in life?  Very, very happy!
