  1. Too Cute.

    When I bought the coker my kids were visiting the EX. When my 4YO
    daughter (she'd never seen a unicycle before or heard it mentioned as
    such) saw the uni she said "Mommy - you got a bike - a BIG bike". Then
    she thought about it for a moment and said "No, it's not a bike, it's a
    wheel". Now she wants to ride it and to help me learn how to ride.

    She's more observant than a whole slew of adults out there. At least we
    know we're raising our girls right. 😄 The 14YO boy child took one
    look at the coker, knew it was a unicycle, and refused to even consider
    riding it. I blame his father's influence.

    my 20".
    Granny came out and, after being prompted to look at Daddy, asked:
    "Is Daddy riding his bike with one wheel?"

    Jenny replied:
    "No, Daddy ride unicycle."

    That's my girl :-)

    I think it's time she learns to ride too. That would make smarter and
    COOLER then most adults.

    I think she'll want to learn. But at the moment she's happy telling
    everyone that she's off to work on her tricycle.

    I first sat Jenny on a unicycle when she was 2 months old, and she loved
    it even then. Yesterday she had her first taste of bunnyhopping. I
    picked her up, sat on the unicycle and hopped around a bit.

    But now to go OT, Jenny now has a baby brother, born last night:
