A few people on here know already, and it's not a big secret or anything... but my wife and I are expecting our first child in October! Pretty exciting! We're waiting to see what we are having... but I have a feeling it is a boy. Not that it matters as long as the baby and mom are healthy!

I have my John Deere pedal tractor from when I was a kid. And my Dad has a couple '36 Ford pedal cars that I can hot rod. But I kinda want one of these too! :lol:

Big congrats to you and your wife. There is nothing else like it. I p1ss and moan about it all the time but would not trade it for the world.

The pedal car is definitely cool. Just be careful...you dont want the rivet counters to give you guff about an inaccurate paint scheme!!!!! J/K

Regards,
Mark

Congratulations - fatherhood is a great thing. Trust me when I say you will wonder what the heck you ever did with your time before having a baby!

Chad,

How about a multi-engine rating while your new addition is at it? I want one of these anyway, so if we pool our resources we can start a mini-Lib assembly line. Willow Run, eat your heart out!

Congratulations to you. Having a child is the best thing ever. My little boy is 10 months now and into everything. Brilliant. You will learn to function without sleep , who knew humans had an inbuilt autopilot ? They don't come with an instruction manual either but you will cope, the same as we all do. I wish you and your family all the best. One of the best kept secrets is that you get to buy all the toys you want!

PS. I like the look of these http://showcase.netins.net/web/pedalplane/pedal%20planes.htm
