We bought the latest fashionable Baby Sitter39。 It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying lastminute gifts. We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. What if I make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike? Her dad asked. The theory, of course, being that since that is a highticket item and she is such a big girl, it would be much better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next five hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike. She looked at me and then at her dad and said, so does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one? Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me.
