For my son’s 9th birthday, my husband got him this: Of course, my first thought was, it doesn’t go too fast, does it? Luckily, it doesn’t, and my son can easily turn off the motor just by tapping the break, so it’s pretty safe. He found this little gem on craigslist for super cheap and fixed…
Playing in the Sun | Portland Oregon Child Photographer

This precious 6-year-old belongs to me, and sometimes she is just an angel, other times not so much. You can see her whole range of expressions here in these photos, lol.
