Nice guads!
I skipped the trike phase and went straight to a two wheel bike on my 5th birthday. Not sure why? I got a Huffy with a front hand brake, sissy bar, a "slick" rear tire and granny apple green metal flake paint. It was like me - boss. I bet my parents spent quite a bit for that bike and we weren't very well off.
Kudos to them.
Post script:
I had a hell of a time learning to ride. I ran over small trees my neighbor just planted and ran over our dog. I guess I have always been a slow learner.
