Kenny's got a new bicycle on the way. It's a "balance bike" that doesn't have pedals.

I bought it from an online shop that specializes, incredibly, just on balance bikes for kids. I foolishly attempted to buy one from the local bike shop, but predictably perhaps, my phone call in advance about stock only resulted in lies, and when I showed up at the store to find that they had none, all I found was statements like, "Are you sure you called the right store?" and "Well I can't be held accountable for the actions of others."

We're really looking forward to Kenny learning to ride.
