Bike!

Stian is outgrowing his little bike. He has used it so much and loved it so much (thanks Grandma and Grandpa Loftus!). But he has started asking for a "full-sized bike" or a "bike with pedals." So we've started looking around. We want to get him a "tractor bike" like Klebo's, but he's too little for it now, and will still likely be too little for it next year. So what to do in the mean time? We've been looking around for a good, small bike that wasn't too expensive. We found some good candidates. In the mean time, Kris was talking with his co-worker about trikes, and as it happens he has a good, small trike that his daughter has outgrown! So lucky us - we can borrow it for awhile!

Kris brought it home from work today. We left it in the back of the car until after dinner as we knew it would be near impossible to pry him off of it to go eat. So after dinner Kris snuck outside and set it out on the driveway and took pictures of Stian coming out the door and seeing it. He was very excited. He hasn't figured out the pedals yet, but that's pretty advanced, I imagine that will take awhile. But so far so good. He played with it for over an hour this evening, and it was darn near impossible to pry him off of it when it was time to go to bed!

Oh - and after we were done taking pictures Kris had to move the bell from his old bike to this one because he was asking for it. Fortunately it was easy enough to do.
