By RICHARD SIMPSON 16th March 2007 At a mere 17 months, Madonna's adopted son David Banda is wisely learning to walk before he can run. And the same applies to the difficult art of skateboarding. While brother Rocco and sister Lourdes showed off their skills in the street near their London townhouse, Malawi-born David adopted a more cautious approach. Not only did he sit rather than stand on the board, he also enlisted the help of his nanny in case of any mishap. And to the relief of the watching Madge, as she is known to her friends, both emerged without a scratch. A friend of the family said: "Skateboard rides are David's latest trick. He is also already allowed to sit on a pony - obviously being steadied and not on his own. Madonna is keen to get him riding and even playing polo when he is old enough. "She is very much into getting the kids out into the open air and getting them involved with animals. "A good day out would be for them all to have a picnic out in the grounds of Ashcombe (their £9million country house in Wiltshire). "David is a happy little boy and gets on famously with the other two." SOURCE
