Bike Riding Fiend

Jimmy has been curious about riding a bike and has dabbled off and on with Rachel's bike. Yesterday afternoon we were outside and saw one of the neighbor's, who is Jimmy's age, riding bike. I asked Jimmy if he wanted to try riding and he eagerly agreed that he would. Well I must have created a monster because we spent the next hour outside riding bike.



At first we rode around the sidewalk and driveway at our house. Then we ended up going up and down on our street. One time, two times, three times. Rachel did pretty well with letting Jimmy share her bike, but after three times was ready to get it back. When Jimmy heard her ask for her bike back, he pedalled his little heart out and rode all the way down the street. Rachel thought it was hilarious. When it was time to go make dinner, Jimmy continued his bike riding in the back yard on the cement walkway. He was addicted.



So now we have a bike riding fiend in our home. Santa was going to bring him a bike for Christmas, but I don't think we'll make it until then. Jimmy has already informed me that he wants a Superman bike. He is growing up so much this year. Now we just need to tackle the potty next!
