Vamanos! Let's GO!

Ryleigh LOVES bikes! For a long time, about a year ago, she always wanted us to draw bikes for her, directing "two pedals, seat, two wheels". She LOVES bikes.

She has also wanted a bike for a LONG time. Whenever we are at a store that sells bikes, she wants to sit on them, and test them out begging "I get a bike?" and I always reply "someday". The thing is, even though she's 3 3/4, she is so tiny she can still fit comfortably on her tricycle, and we don't have the biggest yard for bike riding and hilly hills on our street and in our town.

Last weekend, we went to a bargain fair and I found a great deal. A practically brand new little Dora bike for only $5. Ryleigh was with Mark when I bought it, and when we met back up, he said "Ryleigh has been saying she wants a bike, a Dora bike since we got here." She didn't even know that I had bought it, or seen it because I was in front of them and the lady was holding the bike for me.

Needless to say, she loves it, and is already riding it well enough that I moved the training wheels up so they aren't touching the ground all of the time.

Ok, lady - we just had a garage sale and sold Giana's very same Dora bike - had I known, I would have just given it to you!! She's onto Sophia's hand-me-down now.
