An early surprise...

On Sunday, Patrick decided it was time to get Drew a new bike. We had over-discussed various aspects of this decision so my husband decided it was just time to get one. We went to a bike store to have him fitted as we knew he was between sizes and we didn't want one too large to manage or too small to be comfortable. They picked out a 20" with a slanted crossbar so he can touch the ground without getting off the bike. He also picked out a new helmet...because my children have big heads and keep outgrowing headgear! We spent some time that afternoon on the field at school practicing balance to get ready for the big step onto concrete. The bike is officially his birthday present (although his birthday isn't for 8 weeks!) so I promised him I would wrap up a picture of him on the bike for his present that day! :)
