36 Kids Showing off Their Kickass Skillswhitespace
Since I posted about Harlow’s incredible scooter riding skills two weeks ago, I’ve been watching all of your photos and videos roll in for the #MicroShowoff giveaway. Seems many people want to get their hands on a Micro Kickboard Mini, and for good reason. It is THE BEST mode of transportation for kids who want to walk like the grown-ups, but just don’t have the speed.

And… if you’re a grown-up who doesn’t like to spend two hours walking down one block (while you wait ever-so-patiently for your meandering three-year-old), the Micro Mini is for you.

So. How impressive were our show-offs?

The thing I loved most about looking through the hashtag was that some kids were legitimately good at things while most were just proud mommas showing off regular milestones.

AS THEY SHOULD.

I am also guilty of bragging about my kids when they haven’t done anything particularly brag-worthy. Since they are my kids, it’s ALL amazing to me. You crawled two feet? GOOD JOB! You stacked a tower? YOU’RE A GENIUS! You finished your peas? TAKE A PHOTO AND POST IT ONLINE!

I tried to feature a nice mix of both, saving the absolute most amazing stunts for the five winners. Here are pics and videos of my 36 favorite skills from the “Micro Show-offs” submissions. The last five get a brand new Micro Mini Kickboard.

A lot of people have also asked me where Harlow and Mazzy got their helmets— they are from Micro Kickboard too! You can buy them here.

Thanks to everyone for entering the contest and showing off their amazingly talented kiddos!

Even the kid with the lasso skills. We’ll all pretend to be impressed.
