We've added to our travel modes over the last few months. When Xander turned two, Micah and I gave him a push bike for his birthday. We were so excited, we even gave it to him before his birthday. Of course, he would have nothing to do with it...until this past May. I took Xander to the Bike Away From Work Party in downtown Oakland on Bike to Work Day. We took BART there, and brought his bike (actually his second push bike--Micah felt that the first one we got him was inferior). A miracle occurred, and Xander insisted on riding his bike back to the BART station after the party. Hardly a day goes by that he's not on it. He rides it to school with us, and is probably going to get a pedal bike for his fourth birthday.
Kai is moving around on his own, too, though I can't figure out how. He's still belly-heavy, but somehow manages to inch, and scootch, and roll across the floor. A long way. Quickly. Unobserved. In an attempt to figure it out I started filming him using time lapse.
And just to make this a truly multi-modal post, here's an old video of us on the Tilden Steam Train with Xander when he was two and a half. This is one of our frequent family outings, and at $3 per person for a 10 minute ride through the redwoods, a great deal.
