Hot On Wheels

My 31 month old toddler is a speed demon, an adrenaline junkie

We came home with his first bike when he was 22 month old

His legs were too short and he couldn’t ride

He fumbled with it for many weeks

4 months later, he was ready to take it along with him wherever he goes

He scurried around, sweeping the ground as fast as his legs could carry

Very often making heads turn

Some stopped and took pictures

Others oooh-ed and awwww-ed

Perhaps they were fascinated by a pedaless bike

or maybe a toddler on bike is a rare sight

For a while, I contemplated on starting him on a basking career

Then lately he had a taste of speed and balance of another sort

he got hooked on his brother’s 2 wheelers scooter bike

To spare me from seeing them fight

We got him his very own scooter bike

Nope he wants no kiddish 3 wheelers scooter bike

A flamboyant fierce looking 2 wheelers Hot Wheels is what he likes

He was thrilled and couldn’t wait to ride

So we let him amidst malls and crowd

After a few falls and a few scrapes on his knees

We had problem keeping him in sight

But malls and crowd ain’t the best place to ride

So we brought him to the park where he could zip around with all his might

Here’s him on Day 1

happily cruising around in his brand new scooter bike
