Natalie and Ben have done some serious growing this summer, and we've grown out of lots of things (shoes, clothes, suddenly Ben seems way too big for a crib, etc). One thing in particular that we use almost daily in the summer was in real need of an upgrade: Natalie's bike. She was so big for the little bike that she so loves, but when we went shopping she fell in love with the pinkest, most sparkly girl bike you've ever laid eyes on. And it came with a basket that also has a place for a baby to ride. There was no talking her into any other options.
We brought it home, started to assemble it ourselves, but gladly turned it over to Eric to finish, and she was off. Ben will most likely inherit Nat's old bike. He is SO close to being able to pedal his trike around. He can make it go by doing a half pedal forward, half pedal back and sort of creeping along. And we've been practicing going all the way around, me pushing his feet in circles walking along behind him. Anyway, once he gets the hang of it, I think I can sand down the pink bike and paint it some more boy-ish colors.
pink, pink, pink!
