The Magical Bike

When Bailey was three we got her a huffy seastar bike. Little did we know that we had just purchased a magical bike. We didn't know of it's powers then and we are just beginning to learn of them now.

When Morgan was three she wanted to try out the seastar with out training wheels. We obliged thinking that we would be quickly putting the training wheels back on. Well she got on the bike, walked with it for a few short seconds and off she went! We went on our merry way forgetting about the amazing expirence Morgan had with the bike.

Then we moved to our current house, I was in the front yard talking with a friend and her daughter asked her if she could ride on the seastar, her mom said that she could, not realizing that it didn't have training wheels on it, well her daughter got on it and took off! Her mom was as surprised as I was!

Well the tire started wearing through from being used so much so on Tuesday Bruce was fixing the back tire, he asked Owen if he wanted to ride it, Owen said that it was too scary with out "teeny wheels" I told him that it was just like riding a scooter but with pedals...he said that he would try it but warned us that it would be scary. Well he got on, scooted with it and then started pedaling, and off he went!!!

We took of his training wheels of his 'boy' bike and now he thinks all the kids in the neighborhood need their traning wheels off!

Way to go Owen, We are so proud of you!
