Levi actually rides it to. He needs help getting on, but he can hold on and press the button and go for a ride all by himself, giggling the whole time until he slams into a wall or piece of furniture. And what is most surprising- he actually swings his leg up and over the seat to get off the correct way!
Emma was trying to do tricks- standing on the seat and pushing the button to make it go.
For right now we keep the bike indoors, it is a special treat they get to play with when we are having a particularly long day. Plus, we don't have helmets- even though it only goes 2mph......you can never be too careful!
And here....is Levi's new ride! I realized we are often out for a quick errand or visit that doesn't require Emma being in the double stroller, so I was just carrying him on my hip in the sling- but my little guy is no lightweight! I finally caved and bought an umbrella stroller to push him around in for those quick trips.......he looks so big in it!
Apparently, the yellow crayon tasted much better than the green....
The other day I was digging in our "toys/misc.items" basket we keep in the minivan and came across my winter gloves. My immediate reaction was "ugh......I'm going to need these soon..."! So, needless to say, we have been taking full advantage of the weather! In fact, I actually feel guilty if I plan an indoor activity for the kids instead of the playground/pool! So today, we spent the end of our afternoon playing on the deck while Felix mowed the lawn.
Levi- loves throwing sand EVERYWHERE! Emma filled a bucket of sand and put it in the trunk of their toy car. Each time I tried to return it to the sand table, Levi would grab it and bring it back to the car, dig in, and throw it all over the place. Determined little one.
Emma has been working on her bike riding skills/strength, and she finally got it today! She was having a hard time pushing the pedals so the bike would move. And...I missed the best photo opportunity today...... so I'll just have to write about it! As she attempted to ride the bike this afternoon, she kept struggling to push the pedals but the bike just wouldn't move- and sure enough, Levi waddled up behind her, knelt down and gave her back tire a nudge. She moved an inch. He nudged again, and again, and again until she was on her way. He then returned to his car to throw his sand.
And here she is.....pedaling all by herself on her way back! Look at the determination in her face in the 1st picture! In the 2nd she realizes she is doing it....and finally makes it to her destination....so proud! I loved it!!
