Strider Bike? Yes.

Okay, so this is not a "real" strider bike, but it's a much less expensive version. Not familiar with Strider? I will tell you about it. It's a bike designed for wee small ones to learn to ride just 2 wheels early on in life. It has no pedals, and no training wheels. It teaches the child to coast and balance with their feet. Well Aaron had seen one of these bikes months ago on You Tube, and got it in his head that Brighton HAD to have one. Last weekend Aaron's parents were in town from St. George, and Aaron's dream for Brighton came true, they bought Brighton his first bike. It's too cute! I wasn't sure about all of the colors... but Aaron convinced me that it was fine, and that it's supposed to be colorful, it's for a child! So I stand corrected... colors are good. :) Well, we picked the bike up today from the Walmart at the Site to Store counter. We brought it home and Brighton couldn't hold in his excitement one bit, and neither could Aaron. Once Aaron got it put together, Brighton couldn't have got on it any faster. He amazingly picked it up right off the ground and swung his leg over. He knows exactly what to do. Sadly, he's just about an inch too short for it. :( He can't quite do it yet. Brighton was so upset that he couldn't get it to work by himself, and we couldn't get him off the dang thing. We sadly had to put it away for a while because it seemed to be causing Brighton too much distress with it sitting there look at him, poor little guy. We'll bring it back out in about a month or so... until then, here are some pictures.

 

Dreamin' in the Trees

We just moved & couldn't be happier! We found a basement apt in North Orem & it's just awesome! The couple that owns it has 2 little boys ages 4 & 2 & they have another little one on the way. The apartment seems huge to us & has enough space for all of our things which is amazing. The backyard is perfect, it boasts a great sand box, garden, and a huge tree which has a blissful swinging hammock. Brighton loves this thing & fell asleep in it today while I was inside unpacking. Talk about one of the sweetest things I've ever seen! I just love him so much.
