Leah Ride a Bike

Leah got a new bike!!  Last weekend we went to a bike expo for children with disabilities.  While we were there, we ran into a few other families we knew, and one of them offered us their son's old bike.  We were thrilled because a new bike for Leah would have cost around $1,000.  Yesterday Ty went to pick it up.  They had warned us that the chain was broken, but Ty was confident he could fix it.  Leah was so excited to see it!  She loves being outside (or, out-a-side as she says) and was having so much fun riding on it while we pushed her.  Since it needed a new chain, Ty took it into the bike shop near our house and they were kind enough to put a new chain on it right on the spot. 

This is going to be a game changer for Leah this summer.  It will allow her to be outside on a bike, just like other kids.  It's a hand trike so she pedals it with her arms, and it was amazing to see that she knew exactly what to do.  She loves it!
