Andrew Getting the Hang of Pedaling

I took Andrew to play group today and he immediately went to the bikes. He got on the one above and was pedaling all over the place. At first. Then went I sat down to catch a video he wasn’t doing as well. He did a pretty good job once when we got there and again when it was time to leave. He didn’t want to stop playing. I think that by the Spring he will be able to ride around on the Mobo Cruiser Mobito. I look forward to being able to take him to the park so he can ride that.

On Monday I did a post about one of my Transformers. In my vlog or the post I said that I was nervous that Transformers: Robots in Disguise was not coming back. Well, I got a press release today confirming that the show would be back again during the first quarter of 2016. I am looking forward to seeing where the show goes now that Optimus is part of Bumblebee’s team and Megatronus is back. This should be a pretty exciting season. But first, today’s vlog.

Here’s some details from the press release.

Transformers: Robots in Disguise Still - Sideswipe, Windblade and Drift

Set years after “Transformers: Prime,” Robots in Disguise stars the lovable Bumblebee character, summoned by Optimus Prime to lead in a fight to save Earth from a new faction of escaped Decepticon prisoners by assembling a rogue team of unlikely Autobot heroes to capture their new enemies. Season two will see the return of a more confident, battle-tested Bumblebee as the leader of the Autobots, including his teammates Grimlock, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Fixit, Windblade and Drift. Protecting Earth becomes a mighty task as the team prepares to battle against menacing pairs of Cyclone Mini-Cons, who partner with Deployers to unleash the most powerful attacks and wreak even more destruction than ever. Our hero Bumblebee and his team prepare for battle with new power-ups and mini-con allies of their own, as they maintain their mission to protect the planet as robots in disguise. The series will continue to celebrate the continuous underlying themes of teamwork, companionship and the importance of standing up to wrongdoers.

The highly innovative TRANSFORMERS franchise is one of the largest global brands, spanning across television, film, consumer products and digital entertainment properties including gaming, apps, publishing, transmedia events, toys and licensing.

So who knows, maybe this series might bring back Kup. I know that Transformers Rescue Bots will be bringing on a female Transformer to the team. I wonder who that would be? Will they reuse the name Arcee?

I talk a bit about that in today’s vlog.
