Easton loves the bike a da (as he calls it)
For a couple of months now I have been letting Hadley ride her bike to school and I would pull Easton home on it from the basket at the front. The training wheels give him the balance that he needs and he loves it.
This was an okay option until he learned how to use the brakes. Then I missed the stroller.
However... I decided that since he loves it so much I would try to be patient and teach him to pedal instead.
For a long time he was resistant and wanted to do things in his timing and the brakes were used often.
However with practice he can now ride on his own for short periods of time. He gets tired quite a bit and so I pull him for part of the ride and he rides for some of it but I think it is noteworthy that he can do small bits on his own now. I think we will need to get him his own bike and helmet in the spring.
Hadley uses her scooter and I now cart this back and forth for her.
With temperatures at 5 degrees Celsius in December... I don't really mind.
Good outdoor exercise.
