malachi's first bike ride

about two weeks ago malachi got to go on his first bike ride with dad. he was a little frustrated at first, seriously dad, that helmet's partly pink (poor little brother), and he DOES NOT like hats of any kind (we've already lost 2, though some of our friends found the second one), and as much as he likes being outside, he'd rather be running away from mom or dad than sitting behind someone.

but dad, this helmet's got pink flowers on it!!!

 however, it only took about this far:

bye-bye!

 before he realized this was going to be fun!!! and they had a great ride, so that when they got back home and dad took chi's helmet off, he tried to put it back on so he could ride some more :).

ps, this is still paul's old bike, he had already gotten his new one,

but the baby seat doesn't go on it, only the old one...

why am i getting the feeling we're not going to be selling this one?
