Clay's Hot Wheels

Clay used his gift card money from Uncle Bernie to buy a skateboard at Target. He was thrilled. He has been saving the card for just the right thing. Here it is! He's hot stuff inside the house. He's not quite ready to don the whole protective gear. It is a little cumbersome on a little guy like him. He wanted a butt pad which is probably a good idea but they just don't make those. I used 2 knee pads and put one in front and one in back. They fit surprisingly well hooked together. Clay seemed happy with this solution. He wanted one for his face but we just couldn't get that to work. The wrist guards overlap the elbow pads so he was awkward and he felt itchy. If he's itchy he's done. We let him do tricks without the gear and we'll be sure to protect him when he's ready to hit the streets.By the way he chose the music. It seems to work.
