Big Boy Bike

Over Spring break, Nicholas mastered riding his bike without the training wheels! He was pretty excited, so we celebrated by taking him out and getting him a new bike - which he sorely needed anyway. His old bike was a present for his 5th birthday, and he's now 7 and a half, and he's about a foot taller, if not more so. He really was getting too big for that bike. So anyway - Here are some pictures of Nick - on the old bike when he took off the training wheels, and of the new bike, complete with snazzy new safety helmet! As an aside - Look at how short his pants are! I desperately need summer to get here so I can put him in shorts! I cannot afford to buy him pants again, at the rate he grows! He's only 7 and he's already outgrown the 8s, by a couple of inches! Oy.
