Yes, you read that correctly. I BRIBED my child into sleeping better to get this bike. Call it luck or the fact that she really wanted a big girl bike with training wheels, but either way she got it so you know what that means!
It's kind of funny though. We went and picked out her bike and helmet/gear today and came home to ride it and she is struggling with pedaling it. She can cruise around like a little speed of lighting with her tricycle, but there's something about this big girl bike that has her stumped. Her trike has no brakes and although she doesn't pedal backward often, she can. She can't seem to grasp the concept that backward on here puts her at a dead stop so she never gets far! It's a little frustrating, but I'm hoping she'll catch on quick.
In the meantime, she is loving her gear. After it started storming and she had to come inside, she chose to put back on her knee pads, elbow pads, and helmet to play dollhouse. You never can be too safe I guess! 
She looks amazing! And congrats to mommy for having the reason for getting this--you know what I mean! (BTW, Ethan can't quite get the "big" bike either yet--same thing with the brakes!)
