Her own Wheels

With the soon-to-be arrival of "the boy" we decided to purchase a larger gift for Emalyn partly to take her mind off the drastic changes occurring in our family and also to allow her to feel more like a big girl.

Hence:

Not too girly, not too boyish, and that is of course the frugal side of Cameron and me coming out.

I always want things to last and be useful to everyone. So...when the boy starts riding himself, here is the first set of wheels he will also have!

Additionally, in this day and age, of course, one must buy a helmet....I can't find an image of the one we got, but I think it is just adorable. Soft blue with little lady bugs and a bit of spunk just like Little Miss.

I am sure images will follow shortly with Little Miss biking all suited up...however, we do still have to put that bike together yet!

I have to say too, I am just kicking myself for not purchasing a bike at an annual second hand sale that we go to every year in late winter.

My mom in law pointed out a bike to me and I said no because we don't have a lot of space. I wished I could, but I am going to wait.

Then, the doctor said at her 2 year appointment that Emalyn should be starting to work on that pedaling motion.....grrrrr. Result: I should get her bike.

We'll see how long it takes her to pick up on pedalling....more info to come!
