On a different 'pushing' note, some friends of our let us borrow their balance bike recently. I hadn't heard of one before, but it's a bike with no pedals. It helps kids learn to ride a bike naturally without training wheels. Both K & T have tried it and I can see how this makes it easier for kids to learn to ride. T just pushed it a few feet a few times, but K was really trying to sit on the seat and figure it out. It's such a cool concept!
