David and I got Brannon a 12" bike for his birthday. We took the first one back because the quality was terrible and got the "upgrade". The second one the chain kept falling off so David "fixed" it. Obviously this one ended up having to go back to the store. So then we got the third bike and two weeks after his birthday Brannon actually got his assembled present. He did a great job riding it for the first time and was soon going up and down the driveway. His second day riding it he took a turn a little too wide, ran up on the curb, and fell over. Well, it's a lot farther to the ground then it was on his Big Wheel. He scraped up his knee pretty bad and now has no interest in the bike. I guess we'll put it up for a couple of months and pull it back out at Christmas.
*Side note: Brannon has milked this wound for about two weeks now. When he takes his pants off and remembers it is there he will suddenly acquire a limp. It looks like he is riding a horse while walking on his tiptoes. I have made so much fun of his limp that he does it to make me laugh now. I guess it's better than hearing him cry about it!
Yes, in one of our recent conversations, he mentioned falling off his bike...about 10 times. I wish I could see the limp! I'm sure it's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen that limp before. Very unique for sure.
