Benjamin received his first 2-wheeler bike early last summer.  It was shiny red and came complete with helmet, knee & elbow pads.  We were all set to get him riding.  Benjamin had other plans.  He was not yet ready to tackle the 2-wheeler and instead made it perfectly clear that he preferred his Big Wheel.  Even after trying on several occasions, he did not want to ride the cute red 2-wheeler.

That all changed 3 days ago.  Not only did agree to ride it, he WANTED to ride it.  But don't you know, he's grown so much that the bike was way too small for his long legs.  So, in every effort to not curb this new-found love of his 2-wheeler we agreed to get him one more his size. 

So yesterday we visited Walmart (nothing) and then Target (jackpot!).  We got home and started to assemble.  Of course, there was a piece wrong and the handlebars would not go in to the frame.  So, back to Target we go, swap bikes and head home again.  Assembly went by without a hitch and we were ready to go.  Then the rain came :(

So we rode it around inside!  But Ben was anxious to get outside to ride it.  After several hours of him asking "Is it dry yet?", outside we went. Then finally, in all his glory, Benjamin rode his new bike for hours before it was was time to come in for dinner.  He is SUCH a big boy now!!!
