BANSCHBACHs: A Bigger Bike

A Bigger Bike

Xander was reading the stories and saw the one about Eva taking a long bike ride. This made him very sad because there wasn't any mention that he also has learned to peddle his new bigger bike. So, please accept my apologies for not relaying this information to you as quickly as I could have.

Xander has outgrown his toddler bike and is now riding a big boy bike. It is blue and so tall it has a kick stand! A very exciting feature for him. His goal is to not be using the training wheels by the end of the summer.

Can you believe it? Xander wants to lose the 'safety net'! It looks like my little boy is getting bigger as well.
