Christmas Test Run
Christmas was a blast! There was a last minute request: PeaPod was adamant that Santa would bring her the sparkly new purple Hello Kitty two wheeled bike with training wheels. Santa had other wrapped presents planned, but he couldn't let her down! Especially since she would wake up every morning asking about "my Christmas bike". She would come out of her bedroom every morning before Christmas wondering if Santa had brought it yet. "Where's my Christmas bike? Where's Santa?" Who can stand in the way of such faith? So he switched a few toys around and made it happen! This was the first test run she took at 8am Christmas morning. We bundled up (despite being a little sick - hey, cold is good for fevers, right?!?) and took a very quick test ride outside. It was so cold that we scurried back to the house where I turned a blind eye to her riding it around the house. Luckily for my furniture, she steers pretty well and the basement is unfinished!
Build Today
then strong and sure,
With a firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure.
Shall tomorrow find its place.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
