First Bike Ride

Dear Vedant,

I want to remember your first bike ride. You had been riding the trike at home for a long time. You would pedal, push, back pedal, mastered it all. I had been lazy about ordering a helmet for you. Finally when I did order one, I ended up buying one too small to fit. And then, we waited again. When the right one finally arrived, you were so ready to wear it and go outside.

I absolutely LOVE this picture of you, beaming with inner happiness on your first outdoor ride. I will treasure this always. I hate to say it, but I haven’t yet

taken you out on a bike ride. I will do it when I get back. It gets too dark when I get back home, and these past few weekends have been busy with Bua and Fufaji.

Love,

Amma
