Sunday night was a bit frustrating as my youngest finally got his very own big wheel so he can now race his older brother on his tricycle. Assembly is not my forte and though I can follow directions well, when the directions are vague...trouble looms. The big wheel was finished long after dark, so the boys didn't get to race until Monday night when it was extremely cold and windy so they were cut short.
Even with the seat all the way up, my youngest still just barely touches the pedals and so he prefers just going with his feet on the ground ala the Flintstones, which works for him though he likely be going through shoes faster. He just needs to grow a little in the legs and get used to it.
Of course, my oldest is now a terror on three wheels as he can be down the block and out of sight in an instant (meaning it is difficult now to garden and watch him on his bike at the same time now). We live on a quiet dead-end court so the traffic is minimal, but the neighbors do come in and out and some people turn around there so he needs to learn when he can go, and when he needs to stay on his marks, set and ready, but without actually going.
It ought to be a fun summer!
