May 30, 2011 was the day Abby drove a tricycle by herself in our park below. My role was just an onlooker.It was a hot afternoon. At first, she could only find a four-wheeled toy car, but it was too small for her. There was no pedal for driving.
Later she found a blue tricycle which fitted her height and size. She was able to tread on the pedals for forward movements. She decided to drive the tricycle along the corridors and cycling tracks for children’s cars.
I asked her to follow the arrows that were painted on the floor. She soon got used to the driving manner. In the case that the road is ascending, she found a little hard to pedal up the gentle slope. At times when the road was sloping down, I warned her to be careful and not to drive too fast, otherwise she would bang into a kerb or a plant.
After all she was very satisfied with her cycling skill (only on a tricycle) and enjoyed that hour of play in spite of the great heat from the sun above

Sure, it must have been an enjoyable, exciting and satisfied experience for Abby. No wonder she did not mind the hot weather.
