Kate has been pedaling around her trike for a few years now. She has outgrown it and she is really big enough for a two-wheeler. We were planning on getting her a bike for her birthday, but we gave her her gym bar (since that didn't work for Christmas). We thought we could give her a bike for Easter, but the Easter Bunny usually doesn't go so far out. Greg and I were torn.
I had found a cute, pink bike on Amazon that we were planning on ordering. On a whim, Greg suggested we visit The Bike Barn in Lehi to check out sizing. While there, we spotted a pink, flowery bike that we knew Kate would love. It was perfect, professional bike-store quality and on clearance (cheaper than Amazon, which never happens)!
The next day we brought Kate to the store just to see how she would react. She immediately spotted it and went over and climbed on and started riding. She didn't say much, but she had a big smile on her face. When she finally got off, she looked up at me with her huge blue eyes and said, "Mom, can I have it. Please." How do I say no to that? And if you think I'm bad, you should see Greg react to her. Yep, she's spoiled because we can't say no to her!
So, Kate came home with a new bike, with a pink basket- not for her birthday, not for a holiday, but because she's such a good girl and we love her. And she loves her bike and tells us thank you every time she rides it.

I think that gifts that are given "just because" are some of the most precious. She is not spoiled--she is loved! It's a beautiful bike and a beautiful young lady wearing beautiful matching pink boots. What could be better than that!
