Bad parents

Well, as much as Megan was very congratulatory about Sarah getting the light-up Spiderman shoes, it seems we have dropped the ball on the bicycle. We have been plotting with Nonni and Diddy for some time to get a bicycle for Jamie for his 5th birthday. At school this week, however, they had bring your bike day and Jamie was the ONLY one with a tricycle still. Sarah has been losing sleep about it, fearing he would get teased. So we asked him how it went and he said two of his friends made fun of him about it.

But he seemed non-plussed. I asked what he told them and he said that he just told them "Don't make fun of me!" and rode off. I then asked if he told them that he was getting a super-hero bike for his birthday and he got a sort of sneaky, pleased expression on his face and said "No, I want it to be a secret."
