Croquet Mallets...

The inventive mind of a child still blows me away. Bryce loves his big wheels, so much so that he actually wore it out, yes wore it out before breaking it. We replaced it with another one but he will still rides the original with the flat tire. Ever seen a flat plastic tire? Caused by excessive skidding, boys and their toys.
Next mix into riding the big wheels, croquet mallets, yes mallets. Big wheels have holes where the back rest fits into the body, low and behold a croquet mallet handle is a perfect fit, thus the birth of the "croquet cart"... The only problem was the height of the actual mallet (see photo)

So as he rode the big wheel/croquet cart for the first time, guess what the mallets were doing?
Yep you guessed it, smacking him in the back of the head!
First time it happened, he was shocked, definite pain, did he cry? No! I could see him pondering how much the pain was worth in comparison to the fun of riding his big wheel. After laughing (both of us) and putting his helmet on, off he went on another big wheel adventure. Smackity, smackity, smackity he went...

I some how forgot to mention this adventure to mom and Nana, oops!
