My Boy on a Bike

My mom bought a kids bike about a year or so ago on clearance from Target. We have been wanting to get it out for Xander for sometime, but never could find training wheels to put on it. Last summer (yes we have had them this long) we found some, and just put them away for some dumb reason. But today they finally got used!! Pat had taken the day off to study for his finals (which he really didn't do, shh, don't tell anyone), so he was home and (after he passed Mario Galaxy and opened the game to play with Luigi), he and Xander went outside, got out the bike and put the training wheels on! Xander was excited to try out the bike, but a little weary at the same time. He did a really good job for the first try. He really enjoyed it and I'm hoping that his joy with the bike will continue :)

Sidenote: The helmet that he is wearing came from his cousin Noah's Hotwheels birthday party, so it's just a plastic helmet for fun. We are going to purchase a REAL bike helmet, so don't worry, we are good parents :)
