Elijah's First Tricycle

For Elijah's birthday we wanted to get him something very special that we knew he would love, and that would give us lots of opportunities for making memories together outdoors. So after seeing his love for all vehicles that can be ridden, we enthusiastically decided on getting Elijah his very first tricycle.

He, of course, calls it his bike, and he is so very proud of it. He asks to ride it almost daily, and comes up with new ways to master the art of biking without being able to use the pedals often.

Recently, I attached a little plastic box on the back of the bike so he could "tow" things. Mostly he likes to tow rocks, leaves, and sticks, but occasionally he'll throw in a toy car or even mom's keys just to help out.
