Santa Miin

Grandpa Miin and Irene sent Erik a new balance bike for his birthday.  Thanks!  Normally, I don't let him have access to his presents until his birthday but he saw the box when it was delivered.  He was very excited and this weekend should be a good bike riding weekend so we gave it to him early.

I told him that his Grandpa Miin had sent it to him.  When Victor got home Erik excitedly told him that he had gotten a new bike from, "MY santa Miin!"  Apparently, he thought I said santa instead of Grandpa.  Both provide presents.  Pretty funny! 

Anyway, he tried it out tonight and had fun.  I think it will take him a while to get the hang of it and really pick his feet up and ride the bike but he will get there.  It will be fun to watch him try.

Miles LOVES his balance bike. The key is to get them going on some very gently down-sloping areas. Then they naturally get the "feel" of it! Beware - once they figure it out, it's hard to keep up!
