On this cold January day, I am missing summer. Jack is too. We are both definitely missing him being able to ride his bike.
His bike is meant to teach kids how to glide so that they won't need training wheels when they get a big bike, it looks like it just might work for Jack!
Jack loves his bike, he loves riding a two wheeler like the big kids!
I have to add, that the purchase of this bike was my worst parenting move ever. Not actually the bike, but the way I purchased it. Jack, Lucy and I were at a trendy toy store where this bike was on display for kids to ride around the store. When it was time to leave, I wanted the bike to stay at the store, Jack did not. What followed was an out and out tantrum from Jack, with me holding a squirmy Lucy and trying to carry Jack, while Jack was still hanging onto the bike for dear life and refusing to let go. I ended up having to yell (to be heard over the tantrum) to the sales clerk, "HOW MUCH IS THE BIKE?". Jack had decided we were NOT leaving the store without the bike or I would be leaving without Jack. I decided that Jay might notice if Jack was gone and so I went against everything I would normally do and say, gave in to the tantrum and bought the kid the bike. As much as I am disappointed with my bad parenting move that day, I have to say, Jack got more use out of this toy and loved it more than anything else we have ever bought him.
