Gammey & Papa bought Skyler a tricycle last year and we've had much delight pushing her around the neighborhood. Now that her little feet can finally touch the pedals, Tom is teaching her how to pedal & steer. Although good 'ole American duct tape was used in his method, I promise no one was injured during the process! lol.... Off they GO!
He covered her Nikes in black golf socks then wrapped the duct tape around the shoes and then the pedals (didn't want the gooey stuff ruining her cute sneakers). Once he fastened a rope around the base of the handle bars, they took off and went around the neighborhood for over an hour! Sky's balance has always been perfect and she really understood the motion of pedaling and steering. Once they got back to the house, our Princess just had to show me her new skills!
Perhaps the neighbors thought my hubby was a bit strange when seeing him pull Skyler around the block with metallic 'shoes' , but heck....it really worked! She pedaled herself into the garage, looking exhausted, but satisfied. A fun Friday evening for sure! Yep, those bar hopping Friday nights have definitely been replaced......lol! How do you spend your Friday nights?
