New Bikes

The kids now have 2 wheeler bikes...with training wheels of course. We thought the kids were finally at an age where they would be able to handle 'big kid' bikes so we waited for a good sale and got them. The boys both got Disney Cars and Madelynn got a Pinkalicious one! We happened to get them over Easter weekend so they are in their fancy clothing in most of the pictures, but the Easter Bunny did NOT bring them. :) Group shot!
Aiden sitting cool on his bike...and yes, he's in his pajamas.


Madelynn was the first one to really catch on to pedaling and of course the first one to wipe out! A small scratch on her elbow, but she's just fine!


Grandma Callahan helping Madelynn pedal and turn.


Aiden's cheeks got in the way of his helmet! :)


Daddy trying to get Malachi to ride his bike. He is the least interested in riding it.

He's more interested in running along side the other two and pretending to be the monster chasing them.


Daddy trying again...This is one area that is affected by Malachi's developmental delay. He has a tough time processing and making the connection between what he needs to do and how to make his body do it. He's making improvements in other areas, but riding a bike is one that he gives up on rather easily.


Madelynn even mastered her bike in Princess style...sporting a long fancy dress and dress shoes!


After adjusting Aiden's training wheels, he's now heading into mastery as well!



The kids have been loving riding their bikes. I'm hoping that at least Madelynn and Aiden will get really good at riding so we can go on bike rides this summer. I know I won't be able to pull the bike trailer with 120 extra pounds in it this year! :)
