Lucy has been enviously watching Zane ride the trike around the driveway and desperate for her own turn. It is hard because even though we have a small bike that Zane could ride he wants to stay on the trike. So, until he moves up Lucy is kinda left in the lurch. This afternoon Zane was sleeping on the couch and Lucy woke up from her nap. We went out front and she immediately went for the trike. The first non-negotiable with any bike/trike riding at my house is that you must wear a helmet. Period. I don't care how much you hate it. You will wear it or you will not ride. We have a old Thomas helmet that is too small for Zane now that I tried to get on Lucy. She fought at first but then resigned herself to wearing it. I think seeing the trike in the driveway helped. Plus she sees the brothers with theirs on all the time and it must look normal to her. Anyway, on to the trike!
Her feet are obviously not long enough to reach the peddles but who needs peddles when a brother will push you around the driveway.
Now I am just going to have to deal with it when both Zane and Lucy are awake and wanting to ride. Doesn't happen that often but it could be a problem. I need to start prepping Zane now so it is not a shrieking nightmare when it does. Seriously, you can't spring anything on that kid.
