Joyride

Spring is here, so Karl got to take out his Bobby Car to the playground for the first time. Big adventure. He was every bit as proud as all the convertible sports car drivers turning our streets into a speedway this weekend. The really square red Bobby Car galoshes turned out to be a great investment, since one of the fun things about being pushed around town on a Bobby Car is dragging feet over cobblestones, pavements and other shoe-destroying terrain. The tipi in the background by the way is not the famous tipi of "Isar Indian" Willy Michl, the Bavarian Blues Singer who moved into a tipi by the river some years ago and started to dress like a native American, but part of a Kindergarten playground that also comes with a totem pole.
Over at the playground a major step in playground autonomy - swinging on the swing for the bigger kids without being held upright by an adult. Well, the adult was right behind (the photo is a reenactment on the non-swinging swing). But definitely another boost for the boyish sense of self. It's Ego Time!BR>
