My oldest son informed us just a few days before his 4th birthday that all he wanted from us was a "two-wheeler bike."
Whoops. We hadn't thought of that.
So when our friends informed us that they were going to take a tiny bike to DI, we asked if we could claim it and transform it into something great for our son.
It took two nights of priming and painting:
Both nights, though it was by far our MOST informal declaration of a date yet, we turned off the TV, silenced our phones, and closed our books, and had a fun conversation and evening together.
We always have a great time working on projects together. Our best project yet is our marriage.
Our son LOVED his "new" bike and the sweetest part about it was that the bike was relatively free (minus the transformation supplies) and now, from the birthday presents we didn't end up giving him, we have most of his CHRISTMAS presents all ready to go now. :)
I'll note that the rims on the tires are still pink. He hasn't seemed to notice, so we haven't pushed the issue...we did add black training wheels to it, too, making it a sleek little riding machine. Laughing. Its SO ghetto. Black electrical tape on the handles to cover the pink, sharpie marker to fill in the scuffs from previous handlebar use...

all that matters is that he has a big old smile on his face!! so cute.
