Three Wheelin'

Maia's Papi has bought a fabulous red trike for Maia's third birthday. It has sat, waiting - gleaming - in the office for a week now. We have kept it a secret, and will give it to her on Saturday. Figured it would be better to give it to her the day before her birthday, rather than on the actual day when we won't have time to take her down the park and let her go. Besides, I can't wait!

She has been really interested in other people's bikes at the park. We sat and watched the BMX-ers at Millhouses Park for ages, and she was most put out that she wasn't able to join them.

I instigated a conversation with her about what she wanted for her birthday - and she said 'A Bike' - first off, no prompting. She first said that it should be yellow, but after some subtle suggestion (What about red? Do you like red? I know, how about red?) she decided that it should be Red. With blue wheels.

Well, it doesn't have blue wheels...but here it is.




Hope to have pictures of Maia riding it as soon as - though they may be blurry. Have the feeling she will be tough to catch once she gets on.
