my lil H3 is quite simply the most lovable child on the planet.

Except when I try and clean his teeth. But that's not the point here.

He is just so scrummy and sometimes I feel so sorry for him (global developmental delays, can't talk, walks like a drunk sailor on land, yadeyada) but sometimes I think maybe it's not so bad for him, maybe it's just different. Well I hope so.

Anyway, blah blah blah, I have been lusting for ages for a balance bike for him because he's only ever ridden those little plastic push along things.

And he is the tallest 3.5 year old ever in the history of ever.

So riding those little plastic push alongs he has his knees up his nose.

But he can't peddle, so trikes are no good.

Anyway, I couldn't afford one, because I am poor - POO to that.

BUT, I got one off freecycle and omg! It is in PERFECT condition and is one of the nice wooden ones even. I couldn't believe it. The woman must have thought I was a complete loon the amount of gratitude I gushed at her for the next two days, lol.

But ... tadaaaahhh! He can totally ride it. Well, wonkily and slowly but he'll get there and I'm so excited for him. Yay my cute boy :D

PS is there a photo section that not everybody can access that I just haven't got enough posts for yet? If so, um, doh.

In the meantime here will do :rolleyes

Feel free to agree with me that he's just loooooooooovely ;) :2lol

love freecycle and love those bikes.

we took the pedals and training wheels off my girl's bike so she could try the balance thing.. she's 4.5 and just doesn't care for a bike at all :(

oh well maybe next year.

my five year old chose a scooter instead of a bike, fell off it three days later and broke his elbow :rolleyes stoopid scooters :sneaky2

thank you all for agreeing with me on his gorgeousness ;)

I love freecycle, and you deserve it totally Darlin'. I'm glad the universe has brought you a spoonful of sugar after the hard stuff you've had lately.

That is a top notch find on freecycle! Woo hoo for you both :laugh.

That surely is a racing haircut he is sporting too. It may indeed aid his bike riding efforts ;).

Definitely a racing haircut. He looks like he is loving his new bike.

Oh I just typed out a long reply to this and my computer restarted itself and it is gone. Le sigh.

ANyway. It went a bit like this:

Aww, Sarah he is gorgeous!! But I totally always thought that anyway. Well not ALways. But ever since I first saw him on your blog so it totally counts as nearly always anyway.

And I have never heard of the balance bike thing. How nifty! And yay for Freecycle!
