B is for Bikes

This summer we tried upgrading the kids' bikes to balance bikes around the time Noah outgrew his 12 inch bike with training wheels.  But the balance bike experience just never took off for either of the kids. Noah - because he was already accustomed to riding with training wheels.  And Anna - because she follows Noah's lead.  So after these several months of almost no action in the bike department, Josh and I waved the white flag of surrender and got both kids new bikes that they'll actually use - with training wheels, please and thank you.  

Both kids are back to being happy as clams as they cruise our cul-de-sac on their new sets of wheels.
