Now if only we could get him to use it to mow the lawn ...

John got an early birthday present from his Nana and Grandpa Larry -- a pedal John Deere tractor with a matching wagon cart to hitch on the back. He isn't too worried about the fact that his feet don't reach the pedals yet. For now, he's content to climb on and off (and on and off, and on .. ), move the steering wheel, and count the tires. Thanks, guys!

Here's a picture from the tractor's first expedition in the wilds of the backyard on Saturday.
