Cups sat where the seat WASN'T before Mama was done putting her tricycle together. Cups managed to put crocs on (wrong feet) and entertained herself with shoes while Mama was busy. Later she would come and keep screws that Mama needed safe in her mouth.
A couple hours later the tricycle was ready for a ride. (It took a while for Mama to figure out "real-life" assembly from the simple instructions.) It was all worthwhile since Cups enjoyed it so much. We took pup-pup out for the first ride, and pup-pup rode in the yellow bin most of the time. Since there is not much room in the condo, we parked the tricycle in the garage, next to our new grill, "secretly" in our neighbor's parking spot that is not being used. Daddy's the only one that has asked to hang his bike on the wall.
The next day Cups went down to the garage with Mama to take the garbage out. Cups did not come along to the dumpster. When Mama came back in, she found Cups yelling to let Mama know where she was. Then she said, "Please. Please." How could Mama refuse Cups' request for a ride when she was being so polite?! Mama gave Cups a ride in her tricycle up the elevator. We parked the tricycle outside the condo door, waiting for Auntie Lisa's family to come play on Alki. Cups sat on her tricycle for about fifteen minutes before she got off to play around it for another ten minutes before we headed out. She does love her tricycle.
If anyone ever hears any whimpering coming from our garage, it's Cups wanting to get on the bike when it's time to go inside. She's very good about coming inside once she's had a ride. She's also been very good about staying on the bike for up to half an hour at a time!
