The very first thing you need to understand is that you will now be trying to ride a whirlwind. There will be moments of utter calm and tranquility followed by screaming, screeching , crying mayhem when nothing is right in their world. They can entertain you better than anything. They will capture your attention and your heart and then frustrate you beyond belief.

Fuzzy is now 65, so it has been a while since his son and daughter were that age and I have forgotten what this period of life can be like. This basically is now all new to me. However I am thankfully a fast learner. You have to be because they don't wait for you to catch up. Every second can and often is something new.

This particular three year old is my grandson and he lives in Texas. In the past when Fuzzy has visited with him I had to miss out on a lot of the action, my legs would not allow me to keep up. We would go to a zoo and Fuzzy would have to find a bench to sit on while Mom and Dad took Grandson from animal to animal. By the way his favorite is and always has been the giraffe. Even as an infant in a stroller he would just sit and stare at them either in a book, video or in person. Walks around the block were out of the question. It felt like my favorite phrase was "Grandpa will be right here when you get back.".

Well, no more! I decided it was no longer acceptable for Fuzzy to miss out on the fast paced life of a three year old grandson. I had, as all of us, seen the ads for electric scooters. Fuzzy decided it was time to look into acquiring one. A quick search of the Internet showed that you can buy a used one. They seem like they are traded like cars. So Fuzzy bought one. A three wheeled model that can easily be disassembled for transport in a car trunk.

Fuzzy is now having a blast following the Grandson around the block, he on his tractor and me on my scooter. I can keep up at the zoo and other parks. No longer do I uttter  " Grandpa will be right here when you get back." Life is fun.
