Handing down the bike

In the past couple of weeks I noticed that CJ was looking a bit like a clown riding a teeny tiny bike. I also noticed that her friends had graduated onto a bigger bike as well. The time came for her to give Laurelei her bike and for CJ to move onto a bigger one. But, she had some specifications. It had to have streamers, and she wanted a "brake". When she said brake, she meant a kick stand. Bikes for her size come with training wheels and no kick stand. She picked it out and is off riding every chance she gets. Laurelei is getting the hang of climbing on and off, but hasn't picked up on peddling yet.

Both the girls are getting so big!  Laurelei has discovered buckles, and now gets VERY upset if you try and buckle her into her car seat or chair or anything, since she wants to do it herself.  CJ has just mastered her own car seat, so let the battles begin with the little one.
