He will cherish those times and perhaps become a T enthusiast and even a Forum member.
Good on you Dave.
When did I do that?

That's great! I did this when my kids were little and now they're hooked. When the grandkids get older, I plan to do the same. Already the oldest, at 5 years old, loves to sit in the "T Car" and go for rides.
