Riding My Bike!

This is easy!I kept Samantha today and she rode her bike this morning for the third time. She is really learning fast, she can pedal and steer pretty well, which I think is quite an achievement for a child who is three months short of her third birthday. She rode her bike about three blocks down the street to play with a neighbor's children and then rode back an hour later. She rode a couple of blocks again when her mom came to pick her up to show her how well she can ride. (Jennifer was impressed.)

She's lookin' good!
I just can't wait until she starts askin' if she can drive the 'Z'...

I'd probably let her.

I truly doubt that anyone would think otherwise...
I'll bring the leg extenders and we'll stick a 'Trivial Pursuit' game under her so she can reach the steering wheel... :p

Glen commented that when I said Samantha rode her bike to the neighbor's and back, it sounded as if I had just let her go by herself. I didn't, of course, I was right beside her every step of the way.

That's only if you are dumb enough to get on a bicycle WITH me!

I thought it was Grandpa + bobsled = injuries... Hmmmm, perhaps I am mistaken...

I provide excitment with vehicles in the air, on land or sea. Even roller skates, ask Diana about the "whip".

I fear you with a hammer... why in god's name would anyone give you a 'whip'?
