File this photo as one that AJ will someday wish didn't exist. But he sure was excited Sunday night to parade around the neighborhood in last Halloween's Wolverine costume.
And a parade it was... at least in AJ's mind. At dinner, he first asked Jeff if he'd "do a parade" with him. Jeff tried instead to convince AJ to watch the Vikings gamewith him.
Clearly AJ does not share his father's enthusiasm for football.
He looked at Jeff and suggested instead, "How about if you just tell me if the Vikings win?"
So by default, it was me who ended up looping through the neighborhood with a child wearing a neon yellow costume while riding a bright red bike. Had I let him, AJ would have thrown candy. I squashed that idea pointing out there probably wouldn't be too many people lining the parade route to pick up the candy.
AJ still has a ways to go before he'll be ready to give up the training wheels. But he's gotten much faster and braver pedaling down the street. Plus he's able to pedal and whistle at the same time. That's something even I couldn't do.
