Sawyer got the most darling little bike for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Salazar. Well up until now the weather has been so crappy that we really haven't had the chance to get out and try the coolest bike around on for size. In the meantime we (my mother and I) decided that we better get him used to the helmet. So he has been asking to ride his bike for few days and every time he asks I reply with, "That sounds like so much fun, lets get your helmet on so that you can ride safely. You always have to wear your helmet when you ride your bike." The answer up until yesterday was always a resounding, "NO!"
I guess he had a change of heart. Yesterday he decided that not only was he going to wear it on his bike, he was going to wear it playing basketball, riding in his car, and running around and jumping in general. He kept telling me, "I don't fall down and get hurt now, I am all safe!" Maybe I am stressing the safe thing a little to much? Either way, he was safe and happy, all be it a very sweaty little boy! (No short bus comments about my little guy either!!)
Disclaimer: Yes, I do know that my yard is trashed. For those of you who have been to my house recently (the last 10 years), you know that I have great intentions and crappy follow through. So lets not discuss all the crap stacked around my yard/house/driveway.
Just a side note. I think anyone who drives those teeny, tiny little smart cars should have to wear a helmet too! Oh, by the way I have a ton of pictures that will be coming soon. Once again, slacking on the follow through!
