Katie’s new 2 wheeled Razor Scooter!

She’s doing an awesome job on 2 wheels! We bought K her first Razor scooter a few months before she turned 2. It was the Folding Kiddie Kick Scooter (at bottom of page) and she LOVED it. She spent countless hours scooting up and down the bluff while Jason and I walked alongside her. Now that she is getting older, her balance has improved and she wants to go faster! The kiddie scooter is perfect for learning to turn and learning to balance, but it isn’t made to go that fast because it’s for kids.

We love that Razor scooters are small, portable, and foldable

This week, Razor Scooters sent us this new 2 wheeled scooter (the A3 Scooter – recommended for ages 5 and up) and Katie is taking off! She loves scooting because she can get out and be active while also learning and improving a skill. We love that Razor scooters are small, portable, and foldable (because we live in the city and space is at a premium!) And if she scoots somewhere, it’s easy to fold it up and put in the stroller while we play at the park, or carry it around a store while we shop. I would definitely recommend these scooters to moms of toddlers and young kids. They are fun, convenient, and the perfect level of challenging.

Starting to do Family Runs Together!

Thinking back to when we used to laugh at families who run together, and here we are! We had such a good time running as a family at the pub run that we decided (I decided, or strongly suggested) that the family run with me a couple nights a week!

Jason said he was on board with twice a week (plus he needs to get in some practice because he’s doing the Warrior Dash with me Saturday morning !) Last night was our first night and we did a 5k! K rode a lot of the way (because she wasn’t behaving and kept running onto the bike path ) and then ran the last half mile.
After we got back home, Katie was suspiciously good… 
It was nice for Jason and I to be able to go at an adult pace together for most of it and then K burned some energy at the end. AND after we got back home, she was suspiciously good… She sat at the table the whole time we ate dinner, she ate really well without us nagging, she didn’t stomp or throw anything the rest of the night (threenager life has our standards pretty low these days.) Not sure if it was the running or a coincidence but I guess we’ll see Thursday when we go out again!! .
