Cutest Thing EVER!

Sophi has been wanting a bike for years. It is so hard because she has to steer with her chin-- which is even more difficult than it sounds and only allows her to go very slow. It's also hard on her back and tummy and she falls easily. A few days ago, the sweetest lady (mother of one of Parker's friends) surprised Sophi with this gift. We could not believe how quickly she learned how to ride it! This video was taken only a few seconds after we assembled it. I don't think you can even imagine how excited and happy we are for her! Seriously such a happy day! :-)  She is on this pretty much non-stop.  It's so cute!!!

    That is such a great idea & she seems to have got it working really well. She must be thrilled. What a thoughtful friend :)

      You're fine to share it on FB. It's already on Christi's page, so that may be the easiest way to share it. Yes, just the back and forth motion of her feet propels it forward. It's perfect for her:)

      I have seen a video today of a young girl without arms who drives a car, etc...
      I wanted to share it with you but it isn't possible as long as we are not friends your wife and I...
      But perhaps you already know about this video.

    I've been following your amazing family for a few years. Cali was one of the kids I spent a lot of time praying for to find a family. My son was born with only one hand. I am saving up for a really cool bike called the Wee Hoo Igo Pro. It is pretty expensive but could give her a chance to really ride a bike. It is a tandem style bike with a seat that the child is strapped into. They have their own pedals that their feet get strapped into. I am in no way affiliated with them just think it is a great product.

    Bless that woman who gave Sophi the bike! What a wonderful gesture! I love watching Sophi ride the bike.
