Monkey's first wagon ride was Halloween 2009. He was a little over a year old, but still not sitting unassisted very well. Our neighbors had a wagon, and we put Monkey in with their little girl. He loved it so much, that Grandma got him a wagon of his own for Christmas. He was super excited and the wagon's gotten a lot of use when the weather permits.
I've looked forward to eventually pulling two kids in the wagon, but wasn't sure if/when that would happen. Thankfully, sweet little Bear came along last December, and I've been counting the days until he was big enough to sit up in it.
Today was the day! I asked Monkey if we should try to put brother in the wagon and go to the park. He lit up like a Christmas tree. Completely ecstatic.
Bear loved it, too. He did really well, and made it all the way to the park. Monkey was a great big brother and kept an eye on him to make sure he didn't fall over. He kept saying, "mommy, brother likes it."
I look forward to many more wagon rides to come.
Hugs,

Sweet that you'll be able to pull both boys around this Halloween!
