This little cutie is just 18 months old .. never mind a baby walker, he's happy with his hobby horse bike (no pedals but no stabilisers either)

Practising using stabilisers - not a good idea as it gives a false sense of security and the bike is still too big only he hasn't worked that out yet!

It's so much easier without stabilizers to find their centre of gravity and it's a better sized bike too, shame we couldn't get the pedals off!

And in no time at all, he's done it all on his own, no adult help or support other than Nannie taking a picture of him doing it for the first time ..

Our friends the local police patrolling the residentual area of the college site

Despite it being a quiet cul-de-sac, already he knows to look before crossing., not bad for a four year old!! And in temperatures in excess of 102!

Now all he has to do is grow a little so the bigger bike is better suited!!

Just got some new pix from the States, this is what I call progression ..

only two months later .. aged 4 years old that's not bad!!

And if he hears a car engine, he makes sure that he is safe and won't move until it has gone, one way or the other!!

His little two year old brother trying to emulate him only he is still on three wheels, the smaller bike is something he needs to grow into himself!

And using his feet as brakes as there are none as such otherwise! There are two seriously smart cookies bless them ..

Again progression, littl'un isn't going to be outdone ;-)

No way, no how! OK he still has stabilisers on, which we are encouraging him to remove together with the pedals but he's not quite three - fair play!

Someone who has had stabilisers on for years, now going it alone ..

Really beginning to crack on, totally on her own including starting and stopping!
