Motor Skills: Moving on Wheels

Have wheels will travel! The kids have been trying their legs out on various types of wheels.

Boy had a skateboard for his birthday and recently got to try out his friend's ripstick. He's still working on getting a feel of it.


During our family holiday in US, we took a skate down Santa Monica beach. The kids learnt inline skating a while ago and haven't been skating much of late, so was quite surprised when they managed to hold their own up and down the crowded paths! Despite falling down a couple of times, they picked themselves up and continued without complaining.


Back in March, Daddy started cycling lessons with the kiddos. We brought the bikes in for maintenance, to pump the tyres and change the lubes. Girl needed a new bike as she had outgrown hers.

We would send the kids down the driveway, with Daddy helping them balance and Mummy catching them at the end.  

It was very gratifying to see them improve through the 2-3 lessons we had, learning to brake, steer and self-start.
 

Then we had the road test! And Boy tackled the slopes well! Good job teacher Daddy!
