Tyler's new wheels

When we came to the Philippines, we decided not to take his bicycle with us thinking it'd be easy peasy to get a new one. But unfortunately, that was not true. We've looked everywhere and we can't find a kids bike that's as good as the one we got back in Malaysia.

One of the criteria of his bike was that it has to be able to go backwards so that he can do 3-point turns(yes, he makes 3 point turns). So since arriving here, my dad and I have been obsessively turning all the pedals on every bike we found!!

Tyler actually found one on his own when he climbed up a bike and backed it out of its parking spot. I was like.. "huh???". We bought it right away but had to return it due to a defect :(

Anyways, so, we'll wait on the bike. In the mean time, i bought him something i thought was like super duper cool. A TWIST CAR!!!

I saw this only once in the US at a park in Boulder. It propels itself forward when the handle is turned side-to-side. Same principle as roller blades i think.

Anyways, it took me a while to convince Tyler that his new wheels does not require feet to move!!


Tyler still uses his feet sometimes... ggrrrrr...
