New Bike

Nolan has outgrown his 3-wheel tricycle recently. It just didn't go fast enough for him. He was so excited to receive his new bike and give it a try. Whenever he passes people he says, "Look at my new green bike. It came on a delivery truck!" It only took him a day to get the hang of keeping his balance and he can really cruise now when there's a little hill to go down. He coasts down our driveway with his feet completely up on the footrest, even as he goes off the bump and into the gutter. The idea with balance bikes is that kids learn to balance first and then when they are introduced to pedals they'll already know how to stay up - eliminating the need for training wheels. So far it's a hit. Even Ezra wanted to try it out. Now when we go on walks it's great exercise for me because I have to work to keep up with him.
