Chopper

Our upstairs neighbors are extremely hip. They have three kids, and the oldest one (who wears Prada clothes to third grade) just got a new bike. Vincent has been coveting all of the kid's bikes in our building (there are two third graders, two kindergartners, and one one year old in the two condos above us), but Duncan's is by far the coolest. So when he got a new one, Duncan and his folks told Vincent that he could start riding Duncan's Old Bike (this is what Vincent calls it). So we put training wheels on it and that's how we've been spending every afternoon after school. We get home around 5, and Dan takes V out on the bike, he rides it over to the track around the corner and goes around the track. Yesterday I took him as Dan had a defense so he couldn't get home before 6:30, and V pretty much rode the whole way around the track by himself!

I don't have pictures because we still haven't gotten a new camera yet (it's been broken since our trip to Florida to visit Mom and Paul in MARCH!!!), but here is a picture of the bike from Amazon. See what I mean about our hip neighbors?

I also only have a few minutes before V wakes up, so you'll have to cut and paste this link, as I don't have time to figure out how to put a link in. Jil? A little help?

Nice to hear from you, Nance! You've been so busy - Anyway - Sounds like V is growing up fast. How neat is that - he has a bike from upstairs. Is it his? Or is he borrowing it?

He is borrowing it- they have another baby, so he will eventually get to ride it.
