Still a bit small
Louise stops her balance bike and turns to me. 'Road!' she says, pulling her bike towards the curb. 'No, Louise. You're too little to ride your bike on the road.' She stops and considers this. 'Maman, velo, road!' She says. 'Yes, I cycle my big bike on the road' 'Papa, velo, road!' 'Yep, daddy cycles his big bike on the road too.' 'Elsie, velo, road. Polly, velo, road.' 'We all have big bikes Loulou.' I explain. 'You're still too little to go by yourself on the road with your bike.' 'Maman big velo. Loulou teet' 'Yes, you're petite. Louise is still a bit small.'
