We got Will a balance bike for his birthday and, of course, as soon as Kate saw it she wanted to try it, too. So, even though she will be riding her princess bike for many years to come, we ended up borrowing a small bike with the pedals removed so both kids can now work on balancing. I must say all the hype about these bikes seems to be true--every kid I know who's used one has gone right to a two-wheel bike without ever needing training wheels. Whatever the end result, for now, riding these bikes is what Kate and Will do whenever they're not eating or sleeping (this is an exaggeration but only very slightly--they ride ALL THE TIME). It's so fun because Will can keep up now, so we can go on longer rides that are actually fun (rather than the agonizing rides we're used to where Kate is way ahead and will is way, way behind!) Here's to more months of sunshine, or at least no snow, so these kids can keep riding along!
