It took a while for Peter to come around to riding his bicycle, but once he did he fell in love. He finally managed to make his body do what we'd promised him all along it could: go so very fast.
And so we take little bike rides during the day. Now that Thomas sits in the little car, he rides too!
It does test our patience to ride together. Peter can go so very fast, so he'll make it to the corner and stop, waiting patiently for Lucy, Thomas, and me to catch up. Lucy can't make her trike go up any sort of hill; it's not her fault, really, but the plastic tires on her trike just don't have the traction and slip in place. And Thomas is a wild card if ever there were one, ready at a moment's notice to freak out or poop after six days of holding it in.
We have endless patience when our destination is this awesome, though: the giant wooden tree swing on campus. Oh these lib arts kids better know how nice they have it.
