Zoe has a strange relationship with material possessions . She wants us to buy lots of stuff, but she's far less enthused with it once she has that stuff. She's quite thoroughly outgrown her first two wheel bike- her legs don't straighten past about 90 degrees when she's riding it, so she can't get a lot of power or speed going on it. So we said if she's good on the family trip to Mississippi, she could have a new bike. Well, she was very good, so the day we got back Zoe and I went to Toys R Us and picked out a nice new bike for her. She was very excited in the store. She was very excited in the parking lot. Then we got home. She mostly wanted to watch TV. She humored me with a couple laps around the cul-de-sac, and she hasn't touched or even mentioned the bike since.
