Just last week Joaquin decided that he was ready to put his pedals on his “balance bike”. To start we just take the pedals off of a regular bike until the rider is able to balance and push off with their feet. This is the way Marco learned to ride his bike and it worked like a charm for Joaquin too. It was a little slow going at first, but once Joaquin figured out how to get started there was no stopping him. I also think his favorite blue panda socks that Nonni gave him had something to do with it. 
I know these next few pictures of Camila are so unflattering ( and she will probably hate me later after seeing them) but I just had to post them. See Nonni, this is what she looked like when I was talking to you the other day and I wouldnt give her the phone. She will just have to learn she won’t always get her way.
