Big and Little

As the weather warmed up, we pulled out Cameron's old tricycle for Matthew to try.  Alas, he was still too short and was unable to reach the pedals.  "Oh well, maybe by the end of the summer," I said.  But Matthew would have none of it.  He is a Big Boy now, and he would find a way to ride the tricycle.  And, incredibly, he did.  He sits way forward, more on the bar then the seat, and leans back and forth as he pedals but the boy can MOVE!
With Cameron we have the opposite problem.  We pulled out his bike and he's way too big for it!  He's making due with a loaner from a friend at the moment.  Not only has he grown in height, but we discovered that last year's helmet didn't fit either!  He tried mine on and either he has a very large head or I have a very small one because it fit perfectly!
While most of our biking involves me chasing Matthew up and down the block, we have hit the bike trail once and I'm hoping we put on some miles this summer!
