15-Mar-08: Grace got her 1st bike today at Bicycle Garage of Indy BGI – an early gift for her 4th birthday! She’s even mastered riding it w/ the training wheels on!
When Grace came home w/ her new bike she road it in the garage, Uncle Rob came put w/ Bella. Uncle Rob was sitting w/ Bella next to him, when Bella – like a frog eating a fly, snapped out and took a bite out of the streamers attached to Grace’s bike! Daddy started laughing b/c Rob’s face went WHITE – Rob said, “didn’t see that coming!” and Grace started yelling, “Bella ripped my bike!” while Bella sat there like a cat who’d just gotten caught eating a canary. Since the bike & Grace were not hurt it was very comical!
We told Grace that she HAD to wear her helmet when she rides her bike so that she doesn’t fall down and hurt her head like Uncle Kyle did (he fell and had to get stitches). If you ask Grace why she has to wear her helmet she will tell you, “I have to wear my helmet so my BRAINS don’t fall out!” I guess it’s sort of the same idea, right? I mean in a 4 year old mind!
