Scratch Another Goal Achieved

Maybe we needed just another week outside to practice. One goal the boys failed to achieve this summer was peddling a tricycle. Our neighbors next door, the Roberts, give us this tricycle earlier in the spring, and I adjusted the seat all the way forward so our boys’ short legs could reach the pedals. Each boy enjoyed sitting in the seat and pushing the trike forward with their feet against the pavement, but resisted using the pedals for motion. This week’s unseasonably warm temperatures allowed the boys to play outside a little more and this additional time made all the difference. Carol was the one who coached them today and was there when they made their pedaling breakthrough.
