The Bike

Y has been asking for a bike since sometime after Christmas.  Unfortunately, we live in Michigan and wintertime isn't exactly bike friendly so we told her that she could get a bike for her birthday.  She was more than content with that but every time we passed the bike section in Wal-Mart she wanted to see "her" bike and helmet.

She has ridden it several times since she got it and it's clear we need to build those leg muscles up!  Today we took her and her bike to a park and she peddled for quite a while but she wanted B's assistance up until she saw a little girl who was probably a couple years older than she is peddling a bike all by herself.  And then she could be heard saying things like, "I can do it by myself" and "Daddy, I don't need any help" and of course, "Stop helping me!"  I did giggle to myself quite a bit as I pushed Q in the stroller.

Boy do they grow up fast!
