The Bike

A coworker of Jeff's shared this bike with us a few months ago. It had been the coworker's daughter's bike, and then was painted blue for his son. (The "Hello Kitty" logo on the white seat is almost worn off. Jonathan doesn't mind that it's there!) Jeff got some very stable training wheels for it so that Jonathan would feel comfortable riding it. He's had a fantastic time riding the bike and figuring out the coaster brakes. I love that it has belonged to other kids. It seems like bikes are great things to pass on when they get too small.

I love our generous neighbors!! We haven't had to purchase a bike yet. And I think we have three kid bikes in our garage. . . Anika and Andrew LOVE to ride bikes.

Of course Jonathan would love this new big bike! Are you retiring the old trike till Grace is old enough?

Ella did great on her cousins' big bikes with training wheels. A Christmas gift idea, perhaps. I don't think our neighbors will give us one! :)
