bikes

[in the garage, G ringing her tricycle bell]
"See my bike? Grandpa and Mima got my bike for me."
(she has an uncanny knack for remembering everything that anyone has given her, i.e. "Grandma made this blanket for me", "Mommy bought me these slippers at Target")
That's right, for your birthday last year. What do you want for your birthday this year?
"Cake! And candles! And BLUEBERRIES!!"
No, what kind of present do you want?
"A PINK one!!"
Hmmm. What do you want inside the present?
"Umm. Uh. A SURPRISE! Like, um....a bike for Jack!"


[later that week, first ride on her tricycle this year (note peddling skills, previously absent)]
