New Bike

Ilianna is either a real Slagman or a real Dutch girl, she just loves to bike! At school, when they play outside in the morning, or in the hallway in the afternoon, she is always biking! It's been nice weather here lately, except yesterday and today, and we got Ilianna's trike out of the shed and she's been biking every day lately.

On Sunday the three of us went for a walk in town and it became obviously clear that her trike is getting too small for her. We had already decided we were going to buy Ilianna a bike this spring, but we decided that it was needed soon, so Tuesday morning Ilianna and I went to the bike store in town and picked out a new bike for her! We had one in mind that we had seen the week before, but it was a bit on the small side for her, so we got one that's a bit bigger, and it will do her well for at least two seasons!!

She is as proud as a peacock with her new bike! It's a real challenge sometimes to get her to put it away and come back in the house! And even though it's a little big yet, she handles it great and you have to practically sprint to keep up with her!!!
