Andrei's First Fourth of July

Yesterday was Andrei's first Fourth of July. I don't particularly care for the holiday (fireworks scare the bejeezers out of me and Chianti) so we usually just stay at home and relax, comforting the dog.

Since it was Andrei's first Fourth, we felt there should be some celebration so he got a real American toy as a special gift, a tricycle. I must say that tricycles have come a long way, this one has chrome accents, streamers, and a bell.

Here's the boy enjoying his new toy.




One of the rules is that when he's riding around he needs to wear his helmet. He takes this very seriously. Here's a picture from today during our morning snack when he refused to take the helmet off:

So cute! Did he get the hang of pedalling? We are still working with ours on that one.

He sort of gets pedaling but can move much faster with using his feet on the ground. If we lift up the front wheel, he loves pedaling and watching the wheel turn.

We're still working on looking where you're going rather than looking at your feet move.
