Building The Bicycle

Connor has been asking for a bike for some time now. Everytime he sees a kid riding a bike he says "I want bicycle too". Well, today was his day.

Mommy brought home the Radio Flyer bicycle and he couldn't wait to bring it down from the car. He wanted to carry it into the house himself. Only when he realized how heavy it was, did he say "Daddy help."

Connor was so excited just to get all the parts out of the box. He insisted on doing it himself and made sure nothing was left behind.




It was tough to get him to eat or do anything else until everything was put together. He had a screwdriver in hand and stuck it into any possible hole in the bike. He was helping me put it together.


Between dinner and his Connor's bath, I think it took us more than two hours to build the bike. Even before we were done, Connor tried to sit on it. He was just soooo ready to ride.

Back and forth through the house. It was close to 11pm before he finally went to sleep.
