A Boy and His Bike....

This past Christmas (2012), we gave Luke a bike. It was his first bike. He had a tricycle since he was 2. I had wanted to buy him a bike at age 3, but Marc suggested we should just wait -- not get him everything right away. I'm thankful I didn't "argue" back and simply went with what Marc said (I need to work on that). I'll write more in another post about giving that gift to Luke and what I learned from it, but for this post, the pics will tell just how much Luke LOVES his bike. He has a goal of getting his training wheels off this summer (when he turns 5) and getting a kick stand on the bike. I think he just might accomplish this goal! AND, I posed this question on Facebook this past week, and a couple of guys responded with the answer....If you didn't see the question, it was, "Why do boys think it's so funny to make skid marks with their bike tires?" Nearly every evening, if Marc gets home at a "decent" time (before it gets dark), Marc & Luke ride up and down our little street together (we are grateful to not live on a busy street).... Last week one evening, Marc was not home. It was a nice evening. SO, I loaded up both kids in the car along with Luke's bike. I took Luke to our church's empty parking lot to ride his bike. That was BIG fun in his little world! AND, if you're anywhere near Luke at this point in time and the subject of bicycles comes up, you might have to listen to him tell you each and every PART of the bicycle. (Our fave teenage babysitter, J, has been a SPORT. She's listened to him two different times tell her each part of a bicycle)....
