How young is too young?

The neighbor kids have been outside this week, and they actually came and invited Jameson out. There’s 4 kids belonging to the neighbors, and then another little boy staying with his grandma (who lives at the end of the street) for the week. Well, the visiting boy brought his skateboards with him. Just past our house, the road starts to decline into a cul-de-sac. The kids start at the top of the hill, and ride the boards down into the circle. They let Jameson use one of their boards, but it was a mini size. He was having so much fun, though. So today, while at Target, I checked out the boards. The cheapest I could find was $10, so Jameson got a board. We got home just before nap time, but when we pulled in the drive, he saw the kids outside playing. He could barely wait. He jumped from the car yelling to them, “Friends! I got a skateboard!”

I couldn’t confine him to a nap, so I let him play for a while. He loves his skateboard.

He looks like such a big boy with his skateboard.

This is Naria going down the hill with him. She is 6, but acts like his little mom. Fine with me. She makes sure he’s ok, and wears his helmet. She also keeps him entertained. The kids love to play with Jameson which is kind of funny since he is 2 and they are from 6-10 years old.

My Skater boy!
