Alexa's and her birthday present


Alexa's bithday was July 24. She asked for a bike as her birthday present, and she got one the night before her birthday. She was so proud of her first bike that she rode it inside the house and even took it to the bedroom.

In the following days, she tried to pedal the bike, but it turned out to be more difficult than she had thought. The bike just could not move. She blamed on the stones, the road, even mbak Nur--the nanny--- for not being able to make it move. To vent her anger, she kicked, hit, bite the bike and said "Sepeda nakal! Alexa mau naik sepeda Wisnu saja!". (the bike is naughty! I'll ride wisnu bike instead!")

The bike is actually very cute and perfect for a three-year-old birthday girl. Moreover, she had been dreaming of having a real bike and her mom had to keep her words to buy one for Alexa as a birthday present.However, the two additional rear tires hampered this novice biker to ride on the bike. She insisted on riding Wisnu's bike as she assumed that it's easier to manage. Wisnu was happy to get a bike but he did not mind lending it to Alexa as he had another tricycle to ride on.

After few days of frustation over the pinky bike, finally Alexa's mom decided to exhange it with the one similar to Wisnu's. After that, Alexa looked a bit happier, but whether she could pedal the new one now is another thing ;)).

We are going to report Alexa's progress on the cycling competence....sooon!!!
