Extreme Trike

Next on the X-games....Rhys on his tricycle! Rhys has had this push trike for awhile now, but only in the last month has he gotten REALLY good at it. Like, so good that Hallie and I must wear shoes all the time....and so good that he ruined a pedicure within 30 minutes flat! He can go forwards, backwards, coast, and steers like pro.

When Rhys gets up in the morning, he comes to our room for some cuddles, and then we all go downstairs for breakfast. The MINUTE Rhys' foot hits the bottom stairs, he makes a beeline for the trike. Anytime we are in the house, he rides. Plus, since we live in a building with lovely long, smooth hallways....well, at least our neighbors think he is so cute they don't mind the little squirt crusing up and down our floor! When we really, really need to go somewhere, and Rhys just doesnt start moving towards the door, we'll hold it open, and let him ride the trike down the hall, into the elevator, through the lobby, and out to the garage!

So Monday, when we all came downstairs for breakfast, Rhys pulled a stunt - literally. He STOOD on TOP of his trike, with BOTH feet - like a little stunt devil! He now does this regularly, and Hallie and I are simply astonished. Where did he learn this?! Has he been taking field trips to the BMX games during day care?! One thing is for sure: he is the most coordinated individual in this house!
