Birthday Bike

As if turning four wasn't enough to make me notice that Miller's years are flying by, put this growing boy on a bike with training wheels and he really looks the part of four. Omi and Papa spoiled Miller with the wonderful gift of a new bike on his fourth birthday. Miller has been trying out friends' bikes on the block for a few months now. Little did he know that he would get one on his birthday. We had a great time as a family taking the model bikes for a whirl around Toys R Us to pick out just the perfect size. It was special for Miller to choose which model and color he wanted. We all chimed in with a lot of advice of course. We tried to steer him clear of a character bike..I know, we're no fun!! I must say that the CARS model was ever so cute.
We came home with high hopes of putting the pedal to the metal, but the weather was not favorable for bike riding that week. Miller really broke the wheels in this past weekend with his buddies. These boys like to admire and trade bikes for variety in the cul de sac. Omi and Papa came into town for an overnight visit. Perfect timing for Miller to show of his new balancing talent on his Schwinn. If only he could master the hand breaks. He's going to wear a hole in his crocs before spring is over. I have a feeling we're in for a few skinned knees and a whole lot of bike riding fun this summer.

That is awesome! Look at Miller go. I guess it's time to get Jack on a big boy bike too. Oh, the years are flying by way too fast!
