A Tisket, A Tasket, A Pretty Bike Basket



Isabel got her 1st bike on Friday! Courtesty of the 1st garage sale of the year!

I think every parent envisions their child peddling her own bike, basket in front, tassles flying from the handlebars, pigtails blowing in the wind. Yes - the perfect picture!

It will probably be some time before we get to that!

I forgot how hard it can be to learn to ride a bike - the peddling, steering, coordination, etc! She was very excited about the bike and hopped right on! She can pedal, she can steer, but she has a hard time doing both at the same time! And her skinny little legs have a hard time actually building momentum to get the bike to go if there is not a slight downward slope on the sidewalk! Olivia wants to ride the bike, too, but her legs are still too short to reach the pedals!

Enjoy the pictures of the new "ride".
