After we left Savers, we headed to Walmart to buy training wheels and a helmet.
FYI, the training wheels cost more than the bike, and the helmet cost more than the bike and the training wheels together, but everything was still less than a brand new bike, so we were happy. :)
Brennan was beyond excited. He had to hold his helmet on the trip home, and then he insisted on wearing it as soon as I got it out of the package. He couldn't wait to ride his new "pedal bike."
He did end up having to wait a little bit...he wasn't taking off that helmet, though. : )
Helping Daddy air up the tires.
And putting on the training wheels.
Brennan was happy to hold (and rearrange) the tools.
After it was all put together, we washed it all up. (I know it's a boy's bike, and it's going to get dirty anyway, but I have OCD about such things.)
Also notice it was warm that day. - i.e. I got to wear my flip flops!!
Time to ride!
At first it was pretty slow going. Brennan has a Big Wheel that he can pedal, so we thought he would take right off, but it took a couple trips down the block to get the swing of it.
It didn't take long and he was cruising along at a less turtle-like speed.
By the way, that is not our yard. Jason would be pretty upset if you all thought his lawn would ever look like that. : )
Zoom-zoom!
Daddy had to stay pretty close. Brennan's not the best steerer yet, and we had to go past a house with big (thorny) rose bushes.
He's so proud of his new big boy pedal bike.
Oh, and that is our yard. : ) More coming up about that soon!
