Ollie has been spending some quality time on his scooter at skate parks in the last few weeks. Miss J has even taken to dressing him up as a skater boy (think skinny jeans and shirts).
He's such a tough little thing. He has the occasional fall, but picks himself up quickly and gets on with it.
I was initially wary of the bigger kids (and men) on skateboards and BMX's, but they've shown themselves to be totally cool with a 4 year old on his scooter, even if he does cut in front of them every now and then.
Today a young man on his BMX even reached out his hand to pull Ollie up to the top of a ramp. Ollie was absolutely beaming - he was one of the boys!I, of course, wanted to run up to the guy and gushingly thank him for being so kind to my boy, but stood back and let Ollie have his moment with the big boys.

He looks so cute (and fast!!!!)
We are _totally_ taking them there next week! I love that shot where he's taking the corner, he looks like such a skater dude!
oh, my son loved his scooter! it was a blue one like your son's ... he wore a blue cap (before helmets were needed) and went everywhere on it! I miss those times ... he's 26 now and too cool for those things ...
My boy will be 3 in December and desperately wants a scooter. I'm glad that the big 'kids' play nice with him.
