Well... take a look at THIS!
The Tiger Bike (as it is known) was purchased for Benjamin in 1999. It was a $99 "top-of-the-line" Schwinn bike! (He was our 1st child and the 1st child ALWAYS gets the BEST! wink wink) It was purchased with training wheels.
When Ben was able to ride it, another bike was purchased for Ben. The Tiger Bike was passed down to Zach... passed down to Nick... passed down to Chris... passed down to Emma! (that's a lot of "Passing Downs!")
With all these "passing downs" you can only imagine the state of the training wheels - NO TREAD nearly by the time Emma got to it! Last week we went for a ride and they were falling apart and I kicked them back into place. (I kept thinking to myself "quit being so tight and go get another pair for your ONLY daughter" but since she's the last one, WHY?)
We got back to the house and we tried to take them off but we couldn't get them off. When Glenn came home, he took them off. I kept contemplating "buy" or "don't buy." "Buy" or "don't buy!" The next morning we went back outside and looked over the situation. I asked her to try it without training wheels... she did and Wa La!
Now, take a look at THIS picture...
She is BIG TIME and I think she knows it! Watch Out - here comes Emma Lee (with big brothers on each side)!
