For Xander's birthday, Jake and I have been planning on giving him a new pedal bike. I was thinking along the lines of something used off Craig's list, given to Xander on his birthday. Jake had other plans though, and while I was away for my last EMBA residency before graduation, Jake took Xander to the local bike shop and bought him his very own brand new bike. Xander is incredibly excited about his new pedal bike and can talk about nothing else- but he still prefers his trusty steed, his Strider, at least for now.
Jake tries tempting him into more pedaling time by taking the kids to the bike park in Boulder with our friends, Aiden and "Aiden's Dad," Mike. Well, Xander did have a great time, but it was the Strider that still got his time. That's okay with me.... there is lots of time!
I hope you all enjoy these photos as much as I did. I love seeing the joy on my boy's face. I also love that he didn't take to the new bike immediately. Selfishly, I really wanted to be part of teaching him to ride. Jake just got carried away and jumped the gun!
