Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Ashlyn's friend gave her a tricycle the other day that she had outgrown - boy was she excited for a bike! Her feet can barely reach the pedals, but she figured it out already. Don't get me wrong, she's no speed demon....because of a slight slant of our driveway she can only go down the driveway....she has no concept of stearing so she kind of zig-zags until I straighten her out. Blake was the same way when learning to pedal, their leg muscles just aren't strong enough for a couple of weeks. However, Blake finally learned to pedal a couple of weeks before his 3rd birthday and Ashlyn's 2nd birthday is this weekend. They say girls develop their motor skills faster than boys - with our two kids that has definitely been the case.
