Enjoying His First Bike Ride!

Finally, Erik is recovering a bit more from his "flu" virus that he could enjoy some outside time with Mummy & Daddy. What better way to spend a "rainy and wet" morning then to go bike riding with your parents?!

We strapped Erik's little Elmo helmet on plus knee pads, as Dora the Explorer says "So we can be safe!". Elbow pads were not "necessary" since, well, Erik was all puffed up with 4 different layers of clothing including his jacket. Plus it wouldn't tie around all that layering. ARGH!

Erik has a grouchy look because we're not "riding" but posing for pics!

Daddy has been dying to take Erik out for a bike ride on his Xmas present, the Radio Flyer Trike. So today was the perfect day! Erik lasted the solid 25 minutes "ride" around the neighborhood. He enjoyed being pushed and steered. Erik even peddled a little bit but his legs are still a little too short to reach it with both feet. So he'd peddled one leg at a time LOL! Guess we shall go walking/biking with Erik a bit more now...let's just hope the rain doesn't last too long and give us a good break to go out (even though we really do need the rain here!)
