First Bike

What was Bob thinking? We each take a kid to run errands for a morning because it is easier to deal with one than two.

Only, Bob sometimes comes home with "stuff" for the kids. This time he came home with a bike for Alexis.

Yes, a bike. Not a trike, not a big wheel - a bike with training wheels.

He is about one to two years too early for a bike for Alexis, but he won't hear otherwise. It does provide lots of entertainment watching him try to teach her to push the pedals with her feet while she just holds them up and lets Bob push her around.

When Debbie K. heard about the bike, she sent me home with a tricycle for Logan so he wouldn't feel left out. Isn't she sweet?

Maybe next year she might actually want to push the pedals. Until then, grab a cool drink and watch the fun!

Oh my gosh. So cute! That's funny that dads are always so gung-ho. Mine bought our little one a battery-powered four-wheeler before she even was able to stand!

Mike, Bob cut from the same cloth? Or is this a universal dad thing?

So cute- the bikes are awesome! Does Alexis look like your mom, cause every time I look at the picture of her on the bike, I see Cathy in her!

Yeah Jeff custom made Justin a bike a few months ago and thinks he is ready to ride it too! It think it's so funny!
