It is a very rewarding thing. I know what you are going through. I have twin boys that just turned two the end of last month. I want them to ride, but won't push it. I don't think I'll have to though, any time they see a bike they get all excited and want to sit on it. Once on, they want it to be started, lol. I'll tell ya, a CRF250 is too big for a two year old, but don't tell them. They also like mommy's TTR125, which is still a lil big. I may get a two-seater go kart or something for them to play around with when they are four or five, just to see how it goes, learning throttle/brake control and stuff. Well, have fun, and enjoy the little one!
