Strider Bike - update

DJ has been riding his orange Strider Bike around the living room since the week after Christmas.  He's loved it, and we could tell he's been itching to go faster.  When the weather finally got warm enough, we took him outside on his bike, and he faithfully wore his new helmet, too.  And not to be outdone, Elektra got to ride her tricycle, too.

We had DJ try slaloming cones (like a good little autocrosser!), too.  And for those of you paying attention, yes, it's an open slalom.

Since the weather got more predictably warm (early May), I try to take DJ out for a ride on his bike every night after dinner.  Tonight, he hit a milestone... he picked up his feet and glided, balancing on the bike for a good solid distance.  He went from the last part of our driveway across the street, and up the neighbor's driveway entrance without touching the ground once! 

WAY TO GO DJ!
