I want to ride my bike. Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle! I want to ride it where I like!

You might have noticed from previous pictures that she was getting a little large for her first bike so for her 5th birthday Emma received a shiny new Hello Kitty bicycle. Have you ever seen a child more proud? She was absolutely beaming from ear to ear when she started riding around the neighborhood.

Moving from a too-small to a slightly-too-big bike was a bit of a challenge. There was some falling down when trying to get started, some kicking and wailing as well as threats of taking the thing away the same day she received it but all was soon forgotten once we found a suitable seat height.

To make life between siblings equitable Henry soon received a new two-wheeled scooter… but that’s fodder for a different post…
