New wheels

Christmas means: new wheels! Riley inherited this sweet little trike from his cousin, Rene. I didn't think a 2.5-year-old could ride a tricycle, but the boy proved me wrong. As soon as we got to the park, he jumped right on and started pedaling (with a little help from GiGi and Grandpa). Way to go, Rilz!

After a lap around the park, Riley spotted his nanny-share twin, Fiona.  He was so excited to see his buddy that he encouraged her to try out his new ride. He even gave her a push. "You can do it, Fiona!"

Ms. Fiona had brought her Christmas scooter to the park, so Riley grabbed his and switched it up.

  

When Fiona's scooter toppled, Riley threw his down, too, and invented a new game: drive the scooters (choo-choo!).  He led them on a soaring trek to Hawaii (his usual make-believe destination).

 

After Fiona left, Riley took Grandpa down the slides.

What a fun day at the park!
