The Skuut

Here are a few photos from Ruthie's first ride on her new balance bike, the skuut (a wooden bike for children ages 2-5, known as a walking bike, running bike, or balancing bike). Ruth was so excited to watch Daddy assemble the bike, take her first attempts and slowly begin to navigate this new piece of equipment. She rode for half an hour, only getting off to look at the neighbor's flowers and kitty cat, and wanted to ride all the way down the little hill just a few houses south of our house. Mark and I had a little sniffle realizing how quickly our daughter is becoming a big girl, beginning to learn big kid skills. We are so proud of her, and excited for a summer of adventures on two wheels!
