About a month ago, Sid and I went to the bike shop in Greenfield and happened upon this sweet little bike for $10. Sid originally told me that he didn't like it and that he wanted a pink one. I figured i'd get it anyway and if he wouldn't ride it, I could sell it for more than $10. When we got it home, Sid decided he wanted to ride it. Having been on a balance bike for a few months, he had the balance thing down, but didn't quite know how to turn the pedals over. I held his feet on the pedals and turned them over for him for about a minute, then he just took off on his own. Brilliant! Here he is about a month ago at the park riding his "pedal bike" with me. He would be about 2 years 9 months old. I'm so proud!
