Feb 29 doesn't come every day.

It isn't every day that you get to post a blog on February 29th. We have friends who have a daughter in 2nd grade. She has her birthday today -- her 2nd real birthday. Funny, not sure I know anyone else who was born on leap year.

Well, we're excited that the weekend is here. Play at school, potential sleepover for the kids (all 3!?!) at grandparents. Things are going well. One thing that has worked out well is Reeve's bike. We shipped over his bike -- which was purchased brand new -- a 20" bike before leaving. I figured he'd grow into it quickly and we'd have it for a lot longer.

Much of last semester, he didn't like riding his bike because the bike was too big for him to start on his own. Now, he can start on his own, and is doing all sorts of tricks ("Look, Dad. One hand.") and riding over bumps and curbs. So it is good that he has a good bike for that.

Rania sometimes takes her rescue rider out to ride -- and we just bought a tricycle for her -- but she can't do that very well. So much of the time she wanders up and down the street wanting to sit on any bike she can find -- especially those of our neighbors. It is hilarious to watch her interact with some of the neighbor kids. Sometimes she grunts & screams to try and get what she wants. Other times she is quite docile and willing to let the others get their way.
