Maddie's New Bike

Maddie and Gabe like to ride their bikes. We usually go outside at some point everyday so they can ride in circles in the driveway. Lately, Madison has been giving Gabe a hard time because she wants to ride his very boyish Disney Pixar Cars tricycle instead of her smaller, very girlish Disney Princess tricycle.

He usually gives into her and gets on the pink tricycle for a minute and then decides against it and goes after her to get his bike back. Good for you Gabe! Fight back!

Then she would cry and Gabe would feel bad. You can tell he feels bad because he goes up to her (making sure to stay firmly on the tricycle so she can't steal it back) and tries to hug her. He doesn't like it when his sister cries.

I finally got tired of the fighting and decided it was time for Madison to get a big girl bike. No, there is no special occasion - she just needed a bigger bike.

We went to Target and got her a new bike. She loves it and talks to it a lot. Every time we are leaving and we pull out of the garage she says, "Bye bye pretty bike!" It's pretty funny. Here are some pictures of her on her new pretty bike.
