Spencer and his trike

Spencer has gotten really good at riding his trike. The other day Evan said he was going to go with Spencer to get the mail. Well, I stayed outside because the sun was finally shining and it was a beautiful day. You should have seen Spencer take off on his trike. He took off ahead of Evan and Evan could barely keep up. Spencer was so fast and steered the tricycle so well. I was shocked. The only problem was Spencer can't use the pedals. Either that or he won't use the pedals. Take a close look at the picture of Spencer by himself. Evan finally took some wire and tied Spencer's shoes to the pedals so that Spencer would have to learn to use them. Evan tried to get Spencer to use the pedals and finally tied a jump rope to the handle bars and took Spencer for a walk with his shoes tied to the petals. When they returned Spencer was ready to have his freedom to ride the bike the way he preferred. Evan won't give up. This is his little boy and he is determined to show him how to ride the proper way!
