Lincoln had a Strider bike that we took when we went down to the Caribbean. I think that it was the best thing we could have possibly brought him. He basically rode the bike more then he walked it felt. He loved his Strider. Lacey was lucky to get a strider style bike from a family that left the island. She loved it and having a bike like Lincoln. We had to leave both bikes behind when we moved home to Canada. It was hard, but know that they would get new bikes from Nana & Papa Harker for Christmas which made it easier. With it being a snowy winter we really hadn't had any time to play on the new bikes. They tried Christmas day for about 5 mins and not since. This last Saturday it warmed up a bit so we took the opportunity to ride bikes. Plus we got helmets the same day from Nana & Papa Yamamoto, so we were set. Lincoln's new bike was not a Strider but a pedal bike. He was great on his Strider and knew how to balance on it so we were excited for him to have the chance to try his new bike. We tried with no training wheels as he already knew how to balance, he just needed to figure out how pedal at the same time. He caught on fast, after only trying for 5-10 mins he got it. He was riding his own bike. He was pretty proud of himself (I was lucky enough to catch the look on his face as soon as he realized that he was on his own). Lacey loved her new pink Strider bike. Given that she already had a similar bike in Saint Martin she just gets on and goes. Did I mention she loves PINK and everything pink, so she lovers her pink bike, and helmet, and anything else she can get her hands on.
Today was a great day that I want to freeze in time, but of course we can't. I'm glad we were able to capture this special moment of Lincoln's first time riding his pedal bike.
