and she’s off | littles gets a bike |

we got lillian a bicycle for christmas. it’s what she wanted.

balance bikes are huge up here. we see them everywhere we go. lillian has been paying attention, because, for a few weeks, she has been saying that she wanted a bicycle for christmas – a blue one.

i, for one, loved that she asked for a bike and couldn’t wait to unveil it on “christmas morning.” when we did, she was less stoked about the bike than she was about all of her other gifts – probably because we didn’t immediately take it outside and play with it (after all, the sun still wasn’t up . . . ). but, when we did take it on a test run, she couldn’t have been happier. after one ride around the neighborhood, she seems comfortable with it, but hasn’t mastered the balancing act quite yet. she will soon enough. then, she will be unstoppable!

here are a few quick pics of littles with her new blue bike (which appears purple in these images – i assure you that it is blue) and her toy story helmet (safety first people!).
