Who would have thought! Little Ethan has now officially graduated from just watching planes and trains and monster trucks on Youtube to actually having ridden both a quadbike and a dirtbike!
It all started last week at auntie Ida's school's horse class Christmas show where Ethan got to ride a buggy behind a one of those massive timber-pulling workhorses and sit on another full size horse. Each kid got to go two laps around the riding hall before it was someone elses's turn but Ethan wanted to go again and again so he kept sneaking back into the queue and you could really tell that he loved it!
After that, the new quadbike at the summerhouse was started for the first time and Ethan did not hesitate to jump on and wait for someone to take him for a ride. He went on several rides. First Roland took him, then Ida, then I went with him and lastly Shaena took him for a ride! The joy in his face was priceless so the morning after Roland took him for a ride on both the quad and the dirtbike AND he also got to go on a ride behind the quad on the little wagon that came with it, accompanied by Bamse and Chippen. When he came back to the house he was so excited he just kept saying "cycle, cycle [as in motorcycle], wroom, wroom!" and held his hands in front of him as if he was still holding the handlebars!
Based on this experience I am guessing we are setting ourselves up for years of expensive hobbies for E-man! Yikes! ;)
