Spiderman, Spiderman!

Isaiah bought a 12" bike last year with his birthday money, but he's already outgrown it.  Have I mentioned he's on a huge growing spurt!?!?  That boy has grown out of most of his clothes - especially his pants.  Poor kids looks like he's wearing floods.  We're holding out until next week's birthday party before buying clothes though.  Guess I'm a cheap, horrible mom.

Bikes.  I was talking about bikes. Focus.

We sent the word out to our garage sale-ing friends that we needed a 16" bike with training wheels.  Last week was the annual community garage sales for a couple big neighborhoods.  Our new neighborhood had one, so we were stuck here.  We looked around here and found nothing.  Saturday, my friend texted that she found a NEW ~ IN THE BOX ~ SPIDERMAN (one of his current favs) 16" bike with training wheels for $25!  These things retail for $50-60.  I told her if we could get it for $20 that would be great - if not, I'd pay $25. Should have said $15!  The guy accepted, and Isaiah got a new bike!  We were able to sell his slightly used bike for $15, so it only costs us $5 for a new bike.  PRAISE THE LORD!  What a blessing.

Daddy put his bike together Monday evening.  Zaya was test driving it in the hallway.

Tuesday, albeit chilly, we had to test drive it outside.  He didn't like wearing the helmet at first, but I wouldn't budge since the bike is a little high for him.  Glad I did because he doesn't get on his bike without it now.

Can't believe my baby boy is almost 5 years old!
