I realize I haven't gotten around to posting about Cole's second birthday (and I'm aware it was over a month ago). Rest assured, this blog is not the only thing I procrastinate over. If it helps, it's taken me that long to go to a bike shop and buy Cole his very own bicycle helmet. You see, for children under the age of three, those big box stores do not carry helmets for kids so small. (You'd think that would be a hint) Instead, a special trip must be made to a shop that specializes in bicycles and cycling accessories. Why would Cole need such a helmet, you ask. After all, he's just two. Isn't he just riding around on one of those push toys? Oh, perhaps he received a tricycle for his birthday, and you're an overly cautious mother who is insisting he have a helmet?
Nope.
You see, our wonderful (and well-intentioned) family friend surprised Cole with a bicycle for his birthday. Yes, a full-fledged bicycle. Well, I shouldn't say 'full-fledge' because it does have training wheels. But still. It's a bicycle.
Of course, with very little coaxing, he was already warming to the idea of this new riding toy.
And, as you can clearly see, he took right to the thing. Thus, leading to the need of a helmet.
So, now that Cole has the helmet (and my blog has an update), we're waiting (alright, procrastinating) for the weekend so that Daddy can take him on his very first bike ride.
