Connor Rides a Bike

Several months ago - we had what I like to call, "the great helmet debacle". Our neighbor Zander gave connor his old bike and helmet. Zander came over and the kids wanted to ride bikes. I went to put the helmet on and ended up pinching Connor's chin with the strap. This has led to Connor totally refusing to have anything to do with helmets or bikes.

Every time Zander comes over to ride bikes - we all go out, discuss bikes and the evils of the helmet, and Connor ends up playing while Zander rides his bike. My Mom recently got Connor this fancy new bike with streamers and a bell. Still...helmets are evil.

On Tuesday night, Zander came over, I tried a new method. I asked Zander's Mom to show me how to put on the helmet, because she was a professional and knew how to do it. Shockingly - Connor fell for it. He dutifully sat there while she adjusted the straps - jumped on the bike, and off he went.

It was awesome!! He had a great time.
