New bike!

Simon recently started asking for "a red big boy bike with no pedals", just like he saw his friend Andre at school riding. What he was talking about is called a balance bike, and they are big around here. It's 2 wheels and kids kind of walk/run Flintstone style and then pick their feet up to coast. It's considered a great transition to a regular bike, because they learn to balance right off the bat.

He also decided that he wanted it as a gift and he wanted Grandpa to give it to him. So we got on the phone and he asked for it for his birthday. And so now Simon is the proud owner of a red big boy bike with no pedals! He is having a little trouble getting used to it, but loves to parade it around. And we got together with his friend Finn who has one too, so Simon can see how it works. He hasn't picked his feet up yet, but he'll get there!
