Bikes

As a part of Dash's birthday, we watched the local classifieds and bought Dash a bigger bicycle, one that didn't make his knees hit his chin when he pedaled.  As a part of the deal, everyone got a "new" bike.  Colt inherited Dash's old bike and Sport took over Colt's old bike.  Included with Sport's new bike was a special kind of training wheel that helped stabilize the bike and make it fall slower.  With the aid of his new wheel, Sport started riding independently within the afternoon and a few weeks later he was finally able to stop and start on his own.

Success!

On Dash's birthday, Sport taped on a sheet of tissue paper like a cape and went out for a ride to see if he could get it to blow in "his wind".
