Sunshine = Trike Time

Now that the sun is out, we finally decided to take Carmen's trike outside so she could ride it.  She's had it for almost a year so it was long-over due to get it outside for a test drive.  She of course was excited about her new helmet and wore it for most of the day. When it was time to ride, she proudly put Lamby in her trunk, hopped on her trike and pedaled, pedaled, pedaled down the sidewalk.  She was a quick study (with some heavy reminding to pedal) and it didn't take her long to learn how to steer and stay in the middle.  She loved it and we rode down the sidewalk over and over again. She was enthusiastic about riding down but no so enthusiastic about riding back, as it was slightly up-hill.  Daddy and I took turns carrying the tricycle back while Carmen wanted to run and be chased back to the house.  A great way to tucker her out. Max was just happy to be outside and was proud watching his big sister.  Mommy and Daddy where proud of her too.  Our little girl is growing up.  First haircut, first trike ride--it's all happening a little too quickly.
