I guess Andrew is benefiting from our sudden tax-refund-induced sense of wealth, since yesterday we bought him yet another new mode of transportation--a scooter. Paul got himself a scooter a couple of weeks ago to use on the walking portions of his commute (included traversing the Brooklyn Bridge), and ever since Andrew has wanted one too. Andrew has had a three-wheeled scooter since he turned two, but it's actually not that great (horrible turning radius, slow), so we've been planning on getting him a real razor scooter eventually. I can't believe how fast Andrew has learned to ride his new two-wheel scooter! I thought maybe he'd get the hang of it by the time he's four, but he was riding it and balancing pretty well last night right after getting it. He still stops frequently, either because he loses his balance, gets tired, or gets distracted by something interesting on the ground (trash, dog poop, plants, the usual). That's one advantage the bike has over the scooter--it's harder to climb on and off it so he usually stays on and keeps going. Nevertheless, he loves his new scooter and I'm looking forward to a spring and summer full of bikes and scooters and generally being outside!.
