I did this little drawing up to demonstrate one of the joys of cycling with three years olds- that, while they're very good at following what you're doing, they're really not very good at following instructions.
"Go straight," I say, as we cycle up to an intersection. I need to stop to adjust my parcel. Willow veers left. I ask her where she's going, and she swings around and starts going to the right. It's not till I peddle ahead that she heads in the right direction.
The weirdest part is, sit her down in the living room, and she'll tell you which is her left and right, no problems at all.
