I'm almost positive it's pink, too. :-) Let me know when she outgrows that one- I think the one Nicole outgrew is just bigger than yours! I'm almost positive it's pink, too. :-)

Every time I try to introduce a little pink into my life, whether it be as part of <a href="http://tvindy.typepad.com/tvindy/2004/11/post_1.html" rel="nofollow">my wardrobe</a>, my <a href="http://tvindy.typepad.com/tvindy/2004/05/me_with_pink_ha.html" rel="nofollow">hairstyle</a>, or my <a href="http://tvindy.typepad.com/tvindy/2005/04/stained_glass_p.html" rel="nofollow">artistic endeavors</a>, I end up getting a lot of weird looks.

I made a strong effort when Lauren was first born to make sure there was a color variety in her clothes, her room, and her toys, instead of just pink and other pastels as people want to get for girls. Inevitably, Lauren has chosen pink as her preferred color, so I <a href="http://followingedge.com/blog/2005/03/spring-is-here/" rel="nofollow">bite my tongue and often go along with pink</a> to support decisions and to avoid compounding the situation with father-daughter dynamics. Even so, I still make an effort to get the whole family to shop "both sides" of the children's section (as you can see from her clothes in both this bicycle picture and <a href="http://followingedge.com/blog/2005/03/spring-is-here/" rel="nofollow">the other one</a>) since girls should not be limited to pastels (and the cultural attitude bias that pastels bring). The same goes for me, of course. I broke from my black t-shirt uniform recently and wore a new pink button-up shirt. Lauren said, "Papa, what are you wearing". "Oh, this is the new shirt I bought." "You're kidding me. That's mama's shirt." "No, really. This is my new shirt. Don't you like it?" Definately sensitized to pink, isn't she? In any case, I'm happy you can appreciate the pink bike. :-) Glad you think pink is fine.
