Went from Three Wheels To Four?

The YMCA has a great program where they open the skating rink three mornings a week to kids for bikes, strollers, skates or anything else on wheels...even push toys.

The first time I took Nicolas with his big wheel that Grandma Birdie gave him. I assumed I would be pushing him around some with it and hoping he might learn to work the pedals eventually. Here at home we have tried and tried but with such a slanted driveway and just narrow sidewalks to practice on it we weren't seeming to get anywhere. Low and behold we got onto that wide open space of a skating rink and he took off pedaling with no problem! Who knew? Mom and daddy sure didn't! Next thing you know he will be driving!

So today we went again and he took off again. Then we saw that they have kiddie Fisher Price inline skates that you can borrow (if you get there quick enough before they are gone). First we had to use the regular ones because the inlines were all checked out. Those were harder and poor guy was slip sliding away (but never got frustrated thankfully). Then Cooper had enough of his inline ones and gave them to Nicolas to try. We put them on the beginner level and he waddled right off. He had a blast! Look out world, Nicolas is on wheels!
