Jonathan here. Elias has now learned to ride his tricycle all by himself. He can even steer it in circles on the porch. It seems the largest hurdle in the learning curve arose when we first brought the tricycle back from Texas and Daddy the Handyman put the front wheel on backwards. Yes, that's right. The pedals would only engage successfully and turn the wheel when pedaling backwards. And it only took something like a year for us to figure it out.
I'm happy to say that once that little problem was cleared up, our boy took to it like a duck to water, or bread at the park, or whatever else ducks take to easily and naturally.
On a completely unrelated topic, the bar stools that I started building sometime last summer (are we seeing a trend here that involves Jonathan taking at least a year to do ______ ?) are now 90%+ complete. That is, they are built, the bases are painted and sanded, and the first coat of polyurethane has been applied. If we're lucky, the things might even be done and in our kitchen by tomorrow or the next day. We should not focus on how long it's taken to fulfill this wish (kitchen island and barstools) but merely the pleasure of at last being able to eat cereal in the kitchen. I might even have to go out and get a special box. Of cereal, that is.
