Saturday I invited Timothy, who is now 3 1/2, to try out the Third Wheel. When he first got on he was tense, and reported feeling "a witto nervous" but I persuaded him to go around the block. He whimpered at first, but we completed the block he wanted to go a little farther, a little farther...we got to the sailboats at Lake Harriet and I heard him talking in his squeaky voice, quietly, "I can DO this. I can DO this!" Ten miles later he was still pedaling like a champ. He was also prattling away about how training wheels are for babies, and he assured me that he wasn't nervous anymore.
Something tells me I'm in for it, next time I try to buckle him into the Chariot.
