Evil Knievel

Not only can Sam ride his bike without training wheels at 3 years old, but he can also pop-a-wheelie (a tiny one) and slam on his breaks to leave a patch on the cement - which is great for his tires.

Yesterday, however, he started to show more of his daring side than I would like to see.  I was talking with my sister and my sister-in-law at the park while the kids were playing when one of them said, "What is Sam doing with his bike?"

I looked over and he was trying to carry his bike up the steps leading to the highest slide on the playground.  I ran over and asked him what he was doing, and he replied, "I'm going to ride my bike down the slide." When I told him that that was absolutely not allowed, he came back with, "Well, can I ride it down the steps, then?"

It's going to be a long time before I'm comfortable letting this boy out of my sight for more than a few seconds.....
