Tricycle

Lucas has been riding his Mater as his main source of transportation since he got it for Christmas at 6 months old.  Last summer while we were staying at the Residence Inn when we first moved to Livermore, we made friends with some people that had a tricycle they were getting rid of and they gave it to us.  We tried really hard to get Lucas interested in riding it, but he just couldn't figure it out.  Now don't get me wrong, I love Mater, but Lucas has ruined 3 pairs of shoes now from dragging his feet while riding it because he's way too big for it.   We kept the tricycle in the garage all winter long and every once in a while he would go out and practice riding it.  Eventually he figured out how to pedal it, and now that it's warm outside, we can finally take this on walks instead of the Mater.
Look at how big and grown up he looks on this.  He's such a big boy now.  He loves going out and riding his tricycle.  He still rides his Mater every once in a while, but this little boy is growing up.  Maybe we can have a pair of shoes without holes now.

He looks so grown up on that tricycle. When did he get so big?

Ah, I'm going to miss Mater! :)

Yikes! He just grew up too fast but he looks perfect on the new trike.

He is growing up fast. It will not be long before he is asking for car keys.

He does a great job riding the trike, and the trike will definitely be easier on his shoes. He sure got a lot of mileage out of mater!
