So far this summer, Iris has mastered riding her tricycle. And yes, she’s wearing snowflake pants in June. I know.

Luckily her super-skill has coincided with Julia’s enthusiasm about her new beach cruiser. Yes, I know I shot directly into the sun. I know.

Besides getting some well-needed exercise, this can only mean one thing; walks around and around the neighborhood. A few times a day even, if you can imagine. I’m a big fan of the great outdoors. I just don’t get out as often as I should. Until now. With the bikes, comes the need for adult supervision. I guess that means me.

Indeed, it does. And resistance is futile because I’m not good with whining and if I try to put the over-zealous little Lance Armstongs off, well, there’s lots of it. I must succumb to the call of the wild. And if you’re reading a little reluctance here, you’re reading right. Which is really so ridiculous because it never fails that when we’ve come home after a summer saunter (that’s what I do, I saunter, while the girls put their ‘pedals’ to the metal) I always feel refreshed, revived and ready to run back to my computer and blog about it.

I’m hopeless. I know.

    I love the pictures.

    The other day, I put CJ on Tacy’s bike and held the handlebars and pushed. She loved it. I’m afraid I may need to buy a tricycle.

    My 16 months old has been waddling over to her oldest brother’s bike (he’s 5) every day and tapping on the seat, telling me to put her on it.

    I’d amuse her, obliged and put her on the seat while holding on to the handle bar. She satisfactorily sat on that bike while I pushed her around.

    And at the end of the ride, my back would hurt from bending down. Oh, how I’m getting too old for this.

    When you’re done taking perfect pictures of your gorgeous child, I sort of tagged you for a meme. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want—blame your sixteen websites.

    Learning to ride a tricycle and a bike … life’s passages.

    However, tying shoes and reading a watch/clock will be different for this group.

    Velcro and digital.
    My how things change while others remain the same.
    Cheers.
