"Thanks for the tight trick bike!"




Birthdays are a fun tradition at our house. After everyone gets ready in the morning you get to come downstairs and open all your presents! Then we head out for a donut before work and school. So Kaiden got up this morning and we asked him to go help us with something in the garage. It took him a minute to see the shiny new bike right in front of him.
Last fall Costco had a fancy bike- Tony pointed out to Kaiden that it had stunt pegs and spin-able handle bars which allowed for tricks. Sadly, through his birthday and Christmas the kid was just too small to ride it. We tried in the store a couple of times, but even with the seat all the way down, it wasn't happening. I was almost positive he was more impressed that this bike had a kickstand than the other features. Then after he opened the ultimate in hot gifts- a triple pack of Bacugan- he was in heaven. That's when he looked at me and said, "Thanks for the tight trick bike and the Bacugan." Ahh, the word tight- did any of you know that was back? My baby is growing up. I wish I could keep him small and ever ready to give me kisses just a little longer. But here he grows- 8 years old. And, in case you didn't know, "trick" bikes and Bacugan are "tight."
