This little nugget tugs at my heart in a special way and this weekend was monumental! He's gaining on that big bro in a lot of ways and yesterday he definitely decided he wanted to keep up. With only 10 days until left until his 4th birthday Barrett is now an official bike rider! This facial expression is just pretend but I had to include it because its shows his sweet eyes that are one of my favorite things God gave him. Bear's got me wrapped around his little finger and I was so proud of him yesterday.
He asked Daddy to take the training wheels off. Buzz shirt and boots are the winning combination!
Mission Accomplished!
I was so disappointed in the pictures I took yesterday. Video camera in one hand and clicking the big camera in the other which makes for blurry pics and a puke session after you watch the video. So I took some more today when he was back on the bike!
First, this bike "the Chopper" was key to learning how to ride. Santa brought this bike which at the time was a total bummer present in Barrett's opinion. Completely not interested. A few weeks later with a little Doha boredom he was crusin' on the chopper. Since it doesn't have pedals or training wheels he's forced to balance. Now he loves it and especially down the ramp.
Little peanut.
Full of expression.
Living in Doha makes for year round bike riding. Within a few months we'll be moving to a new villa in a new compound. Leaving the cul-de-sac will be one of the hardest things to let go of. I'm so glad we don't have snow days and have had the safe street for both boys to play and learn to ride their bikes. Big Doha Days have happened here on "the Sac" for us!
