Big Boy Bike

I thought the Easter post was a little full already so I figured I would post about Austin's Big boy bike in it's own thread.

For Easter Grandma and Grandpa bunny got him a 2 wheel bike with training wheels. It was getting pretty funny watching such a big boy on the little trike he had, so it was time.

Austin and Grandma drove it up and down the hall a bit that morning but after lunch I took him out to ride it.

He was having a bit of a hard time understanding why he would stop short when he peddaled backwards.Trikes don't have brakes at all so this is all a new concept to him. By the time we were headed back home he would pedal forwards twice, backwards (coming to a complete stop) once. Then forwards again. It was a long walk home and we were only across the street!!

Hopefully this *shudder* snow *shudder* we've had the past few days goes away soon so Austin can get back out on his bike and practice going forwards only.

update

I haven't been posting much. I got home from Ontario and discovered my yard. Yes, I snooped around a bit before the snow came, but I moved in here like 2 weeks before the snow came. I didn't get to spend too much out side. So we have been outside.

I assembled this bit of awesomeness I picked up at Toys r Us for $30 (and had a $20 US gift card so it only cost me $6) and Austin is loving it.

Then, a few days later I assembled this one

Which he promptly rode off the deck and down the stairs. Thank goodness there is only 2. whew! We have to go pick up a helmet for him before he's allowed out of our backyard with it.

Then, we pre-planted some seeds


And, we blew some bubbles.

I'm sure we will have a LOT more outdoor pictures to show. We've got some sidewalk chalk to play with, a pool to put together, and a sandbox I'm afraid to let him play in because of the mess. lol.

Hope everyone is out enjoying this weather too!!

p.s. we have a new garbage bin. We broke down and ordered one. sigh.
