Time to Skuut


This Christmas Santa brought Jack a Skuut bike.  These are the coolest looking little bikes and they are designed to make it easier for kids to learn to ride a two-wheeler on their own without training wheels.  To ride it, you kick off the ground as if running, thus pushing or "skuut-ing" yourself and the bike forward.  It helps learn balance, steering and coordination.

Enjoying the lovely weather this weekend, we decided to take it for a spin.  Jack is still very much in the beginner phase - he sort of waddles along with the bike between his legs.  But he doesn't mind - he thinks he's flying!  To give him a little motivation and show him what he was working towards, I showed Jack some videos of kids speeding around on their Skuut bikes.  When Jack saw the video, he asked, "Is that Jack?"
