New Wheels

Being the second born, and having a thrifty mother, usually means that there aren't many things that you get brand new. Don't get me wrong, we have shiny new trucks, books and clothes galore, but the big ticket items are usually just handed down.

Max is in the 95th percentile for height, so when he got on Ava's tricycle last month, something wasn't right...his knees hit the handle bars and every time he went around a turn he dumped it into the flowerbeds.

Which frustrated not only him but me. You try picking a 35 lb kid up, covered in mulch and tell him to just hop back on. It doesn't work so well...

To save my sanity, we ordered this cool new bike that flips from trike to big wheel and he loves it!

He even gave me a few smiles...

Don't worry, helmets will be worn for rides that leave the patio!
