Tot rider goes off-roading

Yes, we are country...we don't really regard instructions or manufacturers suggestions. Our driveway is very smooth and grass is really short (where there is grass). So I had the brilliant idea of letting Mason walk around outside in his walker. Last week, we let the boy loose in his walker in the backyard. And wouldn't you know, he walked with great determination, directly to the dog's pen and stood at the gate for a good 10 minutes. The dogs looked really confused.

Of course, by letting Mason walk around outside, we've opened up a can of worms. Later in the week, I let him outside again in his walker and we walked all the way to the cattleguard before he was ready to turn around and make it back to the house. He's fiercely determined (a.k.a. stubborn) and wouldn't veer from his course. He's had such a blast with this new-found freedom. His face simply glows when given the opportunity to be outside .
