We got a bike trailer (which is also a jogging pram and a regular pram) some time back.  In fact, we had it before it's recommended kids should go anywhere near a bike. So we used it as a jogging pram on several occasions, and not long before her first birthday, we tried it out with the bike.

Since then, we've used it occasionally, but now that Genevieve has been getting older, the seasons have been against us and it's been a bit too cold/wet/windy to give it a go.  But recently it's been getting better - and today, we had brilliant weather.

I was going to take her to the doctor before going to childcare, just to make sure that there was nothing too concerning with her rash (which, thankfully, there wasn't).  Anyway, when i pulled out her bike trailer and started assembling it (the wheels come off for storage and it folds) you could see her excitement.  Previously, she hasn't been too wild about the helmet. But she's been seeing Naomi and I wearing a helmet whenever we ride.  So this time, she was reaching for it.

When I went to put her in the trailer, she was squealing "Bike! Bike!".  She loved the trip to the doctor, and then from the doctor's back to childcare.  I then took the trailer to work and picked up a few groceries to bring home in it.  I dropped them off so I could go and pick her up in the trailer again.  We rode around for 15-20 minutes (instead of the 2 minute ride it should have been).  She just loved it.

So now the weather is getting better all the time - I think we'll all just be looking for an excuse.
