Love it! I spend an inordinate amout of time wishing I had a 2 and a half
year old, and an equal amount of time being glad that the little ones who
come around our house can always be sent home with their parents. My son,
who Allan saw pictures of on my web site, and who now runs a major shop,
always woke up hours before we his parents and we'd find the covers off the
electrical outlets, the outlets themselves removed, and usually a table
knife with ugly black marks and chunks missing from its nose. We ended up
buying an old American Motors "American" (I think it was called) and
putting it in our car port and letting him loose on it. He was about 3, and
when lunch time came, his mother would go out , reach down into the engine
compartment and pull this little black creature out, clean him up and feed
him, then put him down for a nap, and back to his car. I have to admit he
never got it put back together, but he got some amazing parts off that car.
Best investment I ever made.
