On Friday, my co-teacher gave Ellie a bike that her daughter had outgrown. Ellie, of course, was thrilled. She points out, "It's good the bike has training wheels." We spent the afternoon riding back and forth on our streets (yes, I will buy her a helmet this week). Ellie still needs a lot of help, as she still hadn't really mastered her trike yet. This seems easier than pedaling the trike, though.
The funny part is that while it was sunny, it was pretty cool outside. I was chilly in my jacket and earband (I know I'm a nerd - my ears get cold easily). But Ellie kept taking off her jacket and bringing it to me, saying she didn't need it. Now if she really didn't need it, that would be fine. But her little hands were freezing! The girl is simply impervious to cold. She always has been.

impervious. what a great word. maybe Ellie will grow up to be like me...
You know, I never had a helmet, but I did have some good wipe-outs. Hmmm... seems to explain some things... :-)
About the cold - would she wear gloves but no jacket? I like to do that sometimes. And maybe a scarf or a hat. (Jackets can get a little too warm for those of us who live for cool weather.) In my opinion, it's still sweatshirt weather, but I am typically one of the last ones to pull out my jacket as winter approaches.
That's cool about the bike, by the way. Fun times! She's a lucky girl. (How do you like my three comments in a row? You love it, don't you? I so know you do.) :-D
very fun. I like Jen's second comment and can relate to not really wearing jackets in the cold weather.
I love her eyes in the close-up picture. They are beautiful!
