Ken rode his bike to work today, as he often does, but today he got a flat tire on his way to work and couldn't fix it (ironic because it was National Ride Your Bike to Work Day). He called me to come pick him up, I put Amelia in the car looking like she she'd just woken up (because she had), and left Sophia sleeping (it sounds bad, but Ken was only 5 minutes from the house and we were only gone for about 15 min).
On our way back to our house, we passed a yard sale just down the street from our house selling used bikes. Ken and I have been wanting to get Amelia a tricycle, but haven't found one on Craigslist yet. We weren't about to pay the $40-$80 that they retail for in stores, but thought $10-$20 on Craigslist was reasonable. Today, however, we snagged a great tricycle for only $5 - yep $5. And Amelia loves it . . . she just has to learn how to pedal, steer, and pedal/steer together and she'll be all set for the summer!
