Thanks to Uncle Jeff, Gerrit has a new 'helmet'. Uncle Jeff LOVES to send Gerrit home with obnoxious toys that his kids once played with (mostly Max's stuff). This last trip to MI was a success for him because Gerrit fell in love with and was able to take home this Star Wars helmet thing. The other night he wanted to wear it in place of his real helmet because he said the visor protected him from the branches (there are a few bushes between our house and the neighbors that Gerrit rides by on his little route on the sidewalks). I couldn't argue with him and let him try it. The funny thing is it doesn't breathe so the kid is sweating buckets by leaving the thing on! It made for a funny picture and he doesn't try to replace his real helmet with this - thank goodness!
Emmit has started showing more interest in cycling. He hated a helmet on his head and now tries to put it on himself. With a little help from his big bro, he no longer looks like a goomba wearing his helmet backwards! He is also showing more interest in the push bike. He can reach the ground on his tip toes but doesn't really have control over the bike yet - my guess is by fall he will have figured the thing out! It would not surprise me if he mastered the push bike before he talks (I hope not!).
