Nik's First Trike

It has been so fun to watch Nik try new things, such as learning to ride a tricycle. He received a shiny red Radio Flyer tricycle from Grandpa Gibson for his birthday and each nice day he would ask mama to go outside and ride his new "bike". At first he just sat on it rocking back and forth, then he could push one pedal half a revolution, then he could go backward a few and then one day, he was off! Now he is doing acrobatic tricks on it like he has been triking for years.
One of his favorite things to do is ride around buck naked with all of his favorite things on the back of the trike. Currently his favorite things include: books with fire engines, his turtle bag full of cars and his nerf gun.
This may be the last year for his naked trike riding as next summer he will be moving into the questionable stage of 3 where it may not always be appropriate for him to bare all. Though next year Lukas will be running around naked so maybe it will be "only okay at home". In the meantime; I am going to stock up on bare bottom Nik pictures:)
