biking around

filling finn's days with things to do can be a challenge. i'm not super mom and finn doesn't happily participate in pinterest craft projects on the daily. despite him preferring ladybugs to all other bugs and often choosing pink or purple as favorite colors, he is "all boy" when it comes to activities. rough and tumble, outside getting dirty,  burn off energy kinds of things. so, with warmer weather on it's way, out we go.

last summer he was just kind of into this like pedal-less trike, but this spring he is all about it. he calls his helmet a hat and he gets so excited to get out and ride. it requires lots of movement from him but it isn't hard to control and it's unlikely he could fall over. we do 2-3 laps around a city block at a time and i get tired just jogging to keep up with him!

he's such a character. here he's riding up the wall. testing boundaries, figuring out what works and what doesn't...what he can do and what's not possible. in this case, it seems you can't drive up the wall any more than this.

when he's on the go he just doesn't have time for me and the camera. his little two year old attitude is in full force and while sometimes it's not funny, there are little moments that are so comical to me. i don't appreciate him storming off to his room and slamming the door (yes, he does this!) or responding to my requests with a curt "no!".

but the "no more pictures" point signaling that i'm ruining his biking time with my camera? i still find that pretty funny.
