"I rode my bicycle past your window last night...."

Ever since the UPS truck stopped in front of our house during dinner yesterday, and dropped off Simon's wildly anticipated new bike, I've been humming "Brand New Key" by Melanie. I'm not sure why, since, besides the first line of the song, it has nothing to do with bicycles, but it's stuck in my head. The kids and I have listened to numerous versions of it this afternoon, thanks to YouTube, and now they're humming it too. Just a sweet song that I remember from my own childhood, that creates a snappy soundtrack for the scenes that follow the arrival of a little boy's first bike.



"I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive
I been all around the world...."

    The look on his face in that first picture is soooo cute! Could he be more excited? I don't think so. I can't wait to see him tooling around in person.
