Just as promised, I bought Shiloh a big-girl bike with garage sale money. When she saw her new bike, she rewarded me with a heartfelt "Thank you, Mommy!" and a sweet kiss on the cheek.
I was a little worried she would be disappointed that it wasn't a princess, Dora, or Barbie bicycle since she had seen and loved those when we were at the store a while back, but she didn't seem to mind one bit! :) The "Sea Star" Huffy was about 1/2 the cost, so I had to go with it.
She was a natural--not scared at all. Just needs to learn to use her brakes and not her feet to stop the bike.
One happy girl!
Ah, the freedom of your first set of wheels! May this be the beginning of a long life of riding!
