So, Miss Emma is now mobile in a new way. She has her first bike - well, kinda.
Emma has been expressing interest in bikes since she stole Giosue's bike at her birthday party and took it for a spin around the lawn. She also says, "Emma's bike" to absolutely every person and/or bike we see on the street. Some (german) people are not amused.
So Christian decided safety comes first and bought her a helmet. Nice, right? WRONG. You see, her bought her this nice helmet...BUT NO BIKE. So when she put this nice helmet on and immediately asked her Papa with beautiful hazel eyes gazing up at him, "Where's my bike?" He had a big, UH OH moment. Mmhmmmmm.
So, we called that nice friend that Emma stole the bike from before and asked if we could borrow it. She obliged since her guy is now on a regular bike. **In Germany, most kids start on bikes with no pedals, so they have to learn balance - then they graduate to pedals and skip the whole "training wheels" thing because they have already learned to balance!
Within two hours of having said helmet, it already had taken some beatings...
She loves to ride her bike and feels like such a big girl. She IS in so many ways. She's only two and yet I already hear my parent words echoing in my ears, "it goes so fast". It sure does!
Proud (emma) Mary keep on rollin'!
Oh yeah, and sometimes she has to sleep & eat at the dinner table with the helmet or all hell breaks loose. Normal? Yeah, probably....
