Today is Michael's second birthday I went out to Walmart this morning (Walmart in Kentuky is a whole other post - trust me) and I bought him a tricycle, which he fondly refers to as "bi". He doesn't actually know how to ride the tricycle. I'm sure that will come eventually, but in the meantime, he has found other uses for his "bi."
First off, the "bi" has a little trunk that holds stuff. He has placed in it some of his favorite things, such as his fishy bath toy, a half-eaten Oreo and the lego with the eye sticker on it, which is superior to the other legos in every way. Then there is the much needed boost that his "bi" gives him. When he stands on the seat, he can reach the counter top and all kinds of good food stuffs, which is how he acquired the Oreo in the first place.
After I placed the cookies out of reach (even with a "bi" boost), he decided that the tricycle must have other uses. So, he tried to ride it. The problem was that those completely useless pedals were in the way. Everytime he tried to push himself, his stride was cut short. I could see he was getting frustrated. But, never fear, my little darling is a genius (no matter how speech delayed he may be). He turned the bike around and can now go at close to full speed by driving it backwards. Plus, he can reach his trunk without having to turn around in case he gets hungry or needs a lego with an eye sticker on it. Genius I tell you.

That is adorable. And you are very clever at describing it. I can see him now riding his bike backwards. And any special legos are always superior to regular legos.
Both you and Mike crack me up.
Everything about this is both hilarious and precious! Happy birthday, Mike!
Sounds like Mike has the same "bi" that Matthew is destined to get for Christmas. When he can't figure out what to do with it, I'll send him to your resident expert for tutoring.
I'm so proud of Mike. He is indeed a genius. Is he as coordinated and brave as your other two were at his age? I remember quite clearly pulling J off the top of the refrigerator when he was two. It really is a good sign that you can still see the cute in your three boys.
