Collin and his trailer bike

At first, Collin was not sure about riding his new "bike" with Daddy.  It did not have training wheels or a front wheel.  Yes, no front wheel.  It hooks onto the back of one of our bikes and Collin pedals and rides along behind us similar to a tandem bike.  He first got on the bike Saturday and road just on our street and then with Daddy and I around the neighborhood later.  After that, he was hooked. 

He woke up yesterday morning at 6am and asked me, "Mommy, can we ride my new bike right now?"  I told him to look outside and see how dark it was still.  "Well, can we do it when I get home?"  I said that he and Daddy probably would but that he needed to ask Daddy....which he did as soon as Daddy woke up. 

When Daddy came to pick him up yesterday, that was his first question to Daddy.  Daddy said they could but that he needed to hurry up and get in the car. Instead of looking at the fishes in the fish tank in the school lobby and playing on the sculpture near the circle drive outside, he headed straight for the car and was almost buckled by the time Daddy started the car.  He did not fall asleep on the way home and had his helmet on when he got inside the house before Daddy could head down the hallway to change into "play" clothes.  They road around the neighborhood and then came back to our street to show Saige the bike.  Collin let her ride it a few times before he got back on it.  They road around for over an hour before heading into the house for dinner. 

Here is a picture and video of my boys enjoying their new ride on Saturday:
