Its getting out of control over here

the amount of growing up our little Des is doing. You see, mom found a sa-weeet big boy bike at DI last week and he loved it. loved. it. So we bought it. Best 8 bucks we've spent on the kid as far as Des is concerned.

Can he ride it? No, not really. But does he love it all the same. You betcha.

At first he was dying to just get on it so Dad was nice to fix it up and push him around.


with a few stops to pet the kitty (with the ever-helpful Emmy from next door)


Then we went and bought some training wheels so our backs could have a rest.


so now he mostly just sits there. I try to teach him it has these swell pedals that make it move but so far he doesn't really care. He's just happy to have a "big boy bike" like Henry across the street.
