two-wheeling

 
Gus is riding a two-wheeler! Without the extra two wheels. Basically, he saw Zach riding his on April 14th, and wasn't going to rest until he could do it, too.

 
Note, no more Mountain Dew helmet. Too small. It, and the Curious George sticker on it, will be missed. Gus got a lot of compliments from the skating crowd for that helmet. And he seemed to really enjoying telling people how he got the sticker at the ER. Maybe he suspected it would earn him credibility with the skateboarders.

So now that Gus can ride, he is focused on riding faster. Theo is helping him train.



Theo ditched Jonathan. He was slowing him down.



I cannot believe my baby is riding a two-wheeler. I had no idea how impressed I would be by it. He seems so old. And free. He has a mode of transportation. Heck, some people ride their bikes to work. He could ride to work. Or run away and get really far. It's a little terrifying.

And to say Gus's loves riding his two-wheeler, would be a huge understatement. He wakes up, immediately gets dressed, goes down to the kitchen and puts on his sneakers and helmet, checks out his bike, and not-so-patiently waits for us to take him out riding.

We ran into Zack at the park today. He was riding his new two-wheeler.

 
No training wheels. They would not pose for a picture.

 
But Theo did.

 
He loves tree climbing.

"can we live with Kate?"

 
Kate and Chloe invited us to Doylestown for a day at their pool, but because Gus is totally obsessed with his bike, it morphed into a day of triathlon training.

It is hard to keep up when you cannot peddle.

 
But Theo is a superstar in the pool.

 
He has no fear of the water.

 
And would climb out of the kiddie pool and head right to the deep pool.

 
Gus is much more cautious and did not like going in the deep pool.

 
Drying off.

 
It was a super fun day and as we pulled away Gus asked "can we live with Kate?" I was thinking the same thing.

two-wheeler

 
We gave Gus his first two-wheeler (plus two training wheels, but we don't talk much about those). He said it was the best surprise ever.

 
Theo inherited the trike, which he was also pleased with after the initial shock and horror of Gus receiving a new bike.

Huffy Rock It. Pretty nice. Gus called it "a beautiful red bike with rockets."
