fifty two on friday ~ week 35 (on the street)

The kids got new bikes this week with some money that Leah got for her birthday. They were super excited but poor Leah can't quite peddle yet because we got the bigger ones and hers is just a tad too big for her right now. I am sure she will be able to pedal it before we know it.

Jordan on the other hand is like an old pro and is a peddling fool. He loves his new bike. I was a little worried because we could not find a red bike at the store and he is stuck on the color red right now but it did not phase him at all. On our way home from school we prepared him by talking about all the cool different colored fire trucks and how some airport fire trucks are yellow.

After he went up and down our street a few times he asked if we could go for a ride around the block and I told him that would be ok. When we got to the end of our street I told him to turn right  and he said,   "No thanks, since I am I on the bike Mom I am the boss, deal?" He wanted to go the long way around the block. I told him he was going to be tired but he insisted.   Of course less than half way around he declared that I was right, we should have gone the short way because his legs were tired and next time he said we were going to go the short way around.

When we got home he walked over to the tricycles and started to pick them up. When I asked him what he was doing he said he was putting them in recycling bins so that the garbage man could take them next time he came to our house. He said that we didn't need them anymore because they were for babies.
