The runaway 4 wheeler

Alex is a pretty good big brother. He shares his toys with his sisters. He watches out for them when they have pieces that are too little. He even consoles them when they are sad. So its no wonder that he would be nice enough to give Jade a ride on his four wheeler. He started out by letting her steer and she did a good job. Then he let her push the pedal to make it go and she learned how to do both things really quickly. However, we underestimated her. When we were not watching she got herself up on that thing and started going. Alex quickly ran to her and tried to hop on the back but that thing is fast when there is only 25 pounds on it. He managed to get somewhat on but couldn't get her to let up on the pedal. She was heading straight for the metal laundry post (which is now a baby swing set) and running over anything in the way. Alex was hollering for help while Jade had a super smile with giggles. I had to run to catch up with them and pull her off so that it would stop. I got there just in time cause it was only about 2 feet from the poll. Alex was so scared he instantly started to cry and yelled at Jade that she scared him. She kept on smiling and when I asked if she had fun she said YEAH!! It reminded me of the run away horse scenes that you sometimes see in the movies and a young guy usually has to save the damsel in distress. Only in this case Jade knew what she was doing she just didn't understand the danger of it. Alex and I decided that when he wasn't riding his four wheeler we should park it so that Jade can't get to it or just turn it upside down. I am glad he understood to try and save her and it just goes to show he really does love his sister, even if she does get on his nerves. thanks for reading xoxo
