Rides

We bought Peter a bike the week before Easter.  I feel like I have been behind on this sorta thing.  I always tend to be conservative and cheap and think my kids don't always need the latest and greatest and so I tend to be behind on the appropriate "toy" curve.  We recently realized that Peter should start working on bike skills... and it would be a great way to build his leg muscles for PT. After a couple looks on craigslist, we just bought him one from Target that was on sale for Easter.  :) Theoretically he was excited about it.  But we haven't quite gotten that to carry over to real life (yet!). 
It was a hot and sunny Easter afternoon so we headed out for some rides.  Lily Bug enjoyed ME pulling her around on Pete's scooter.  ;)  She comes by it honestly, I can't blame her!  And look at that cuteness, who could resist!

Meanwhile, Mike was still trying to convince Peter to come ride his bike!

 Lily decided to scooter herself around.  :)
 Then decided to play in the rocks.  I think it is the cutest thing when toddlers squat like this!
 Mike finally did convince Peter to ride it over to me (for a milkshake!).
I tried to video it, while Lily ran out in front of Peter, Mike ran to grab Lily so let go of Peter, I tried to help Peter as I was in the middle of videoing and pretty much just made him crash :(... not a good start.  We felt so bad b/c he was doing great and then we totally gave him a bad reinforcement for trying to be brave!  :( 
We'll keep working on it!
