When Skylar turned 3 we got her a big girl bike. We decided to get Jimmy his very own bike for his third birthday as well. With the weather being so beautiful this past weekend, we decided to go ahead and get it a little early. While at Academy, Jimmy found the bike helmets, put one on and then refused to take it off. He even rode home in the car with it on. Love that kid. Anyway, Jim put the bike together early Saturday morning and pretty much spent the entire day teaching Jimmy how to ride his bike. To make it a little less dangerous, Jim took the kids up to the high school and taught them how to ride there... a big open space with no traffic! By the time they came home for lunch, my little boy could ride a bike! Getting him inside to eat lunch and take a nap was no small feat. He is just a little bit stubborn (wink, wink) and he realllllllly, wanted to keep riding. Luckily, they have an awesome daddy who took them out for adventures after nap and then again all day Sunday. 
Skylar had been riding her 12 inch bike since she was 3 and it was WAY to small for her. On Sunday, Jim told me he felt badly for her because she looked so uncomfortable on her bike. So what's a mom to do? We headed back to academy and got her a beautiful new 18 inch bike...... an early 5th birthday present!
Our new routine includes jumping out of the car after school and straight onto their bikes! I am so happy they would rather be outside riding their bikes than inside watching TV. I hope that continues....
