Great stuff... obviously an experienced balance bike rider already. Little miss cloudnine did her first ride at her 4th birthday party much to the amazement of the other parents who didn't realise she had been scooting round on a balance bike for the last 2 years.

I like the "no" when dad tries to direct things at the end! Independence is Jimmys.

That's awesome - he's got it sussed ๐Ÿ™‚

Can he reach the ground? The nervous "just off the shoulder" position is very familiar at the moment as our 3 year old is at a similar stage, but still can't really get a foot down properly. He has however learned to use the brake, and to skid. Unfortunately this usually ends up with a delicate sideways topple unless I'm right there ๐Ÿ˜‰

He can touch the floor but its a stretch. It is very nerve wracking at the moment.

good stuff! I'm just getting used to letting William, who's 2 go down little hills on his balance bike, without me holding on to the saddle. It's scary!
