Bus!

Nic is obsessed with busses. White busses, yellow busses, mail busses, water delivery busses, parcel delivery busses... So not all of them are really "busses", some are actually trucks and we are trying to distinguish between the two, until then they are all busses.



So we got this new toy from my friend Jenny. It's a Smart Cycle where he sits on the cycle which is hooked up to the TV and he plays along with the games. As he pedals he moves along with the screen and steers to maneuver through the game. One of the games involves him driving, of all things, a BUS!



His feet just barely reach the pedals, so actually moving along with the bus is difficult. Instead we get off the bike and spin the pedals around with our hands, which makes steering difficult.



It went like this:

Me: Ok, Nic pedal.

Nic: Bus, Mommy Bus!

Me: Yes, Nic it's a bus. Turn the handlebars.

Nic: Bus, Mommy Bus!

Me: Yes, Nic, Bus. Let's get back on the seat.

Nic: Bus, Mommy Bus!



I guess this is why it's for 3-5 year olds.
