Bikada (This is how Easton says bicycle)
For about a month now I have been letting Easton ride Hadley's bike to school while I pull him from the front. At the beginning he just sat there and smiled. Then last week he went through an "I know where the brakes are phase". This was almost annoying enough for me to put the bike away until spring. However he asks for it every day so I decided to press on and teach him to pedal. So now he pedals for about 50% of the ride. He still uses the brakes and thinks it is funny. As he brakes he looks at me, grins, and says no brake.
Mostly this makes me smile as I know he understands what he is doing. (The days that I am running late... another story).
At every road crossing he gets off his bike and we each old a side of the bike and walk it across.
He is pretty good at understanding that he gets to ride the bike to school and Hadley gets her turn to ride home. It helps if Hadley stops every once in a while and lets him push her. He likes to feel helpful.
Hadley likes that the bike is brought to her daily. :)
