Helicopter

We all went downtown this evening to get some coffee beans from Dawson Taylor. While walking along, a man on a bench handed Nico a toy helicopter, saying that he found it on the bench and that he should probably have it. Nico really liked the helicopter. He held onto and showed it to everyone who seemed interested.

On the way back to the car we also stopped to play the "public piano" on 8th street. Nico enjoyed that.

Then we went to the greenbelt with the intent of letting Nico ride his Strider bike, but he was so intent on holding his helicopter that he only stayed on the bike for a few minutes.

We had gone for a Strider ride earlier in the day, though, and he has started SITTING on the bike instead of just walking with it. He prefers sitting on the bar of the bike, not on the seat. It looks pretty uncomfortable, but I'm sure he'll get the hang of it soon.

OH, and Guy fixed the car stereo by removing the pennies Nico had shoved into it!
