Three Wheels Good

Friends with children arrive. They bring their own tricycle. Sabina eyes it off with envy. "I want to have a turn. Sabina's turn!". Of course. Luckily we're able to quickly pull out Sabina's pink bicycle with training wheels. Jayden, unpurturbed by the colour, jumps on and zooms down the driveway. Sabina get's into motion after him. Add little Isaac into the equation, and you've got more traffic than in Paris.

Later in the afternoon we go to see Tornado. Sabina declares that she just wants to keep riding the tricycle. We leave her to it. In a flash the trike is forgotten and she's opening the gate. She'll lead Tornado around. Jayden is keen to have a ride. "No no no! It's Sabina's turn". Sheesh. She gets a ride, and jumps off reluctantly, not really sure whether Jayden deserves a turn. Jayden has a turn, not really sure whether Sabina deserves a turn. Sabina's turn. Jayden's turn. Sabina's turn. Jayden's turn. "Last ride", I declare. Sabina jumps up behind Jayden and they laugh and giggle aboard the pony.
