Ok, so some of you have politely asked, "What kind of parents are you?!?!?!?" because Evan is seen in pictures below riding his bike without a helmet. Yes, you did see that correctly; however, he DID receive a helmet on the day he received his bike. BUT, it was too big! (This one was for kids ages 8+ and should have fit just right) He was so desperate to learn how to ride his bike the very day he got it, so we watched him like a hawk that day and the next until we bought a new helmet. (This new one is for kids 5+ and fits him perfectly!) We kept the other helmet because I am sure he will grow into it soon. You may be pleased to know that the new helmet hangs from his handle bars when he's not riding his bike, and he is VERY good about strapping it on every time. He doesn't even seem to mind that hardly any of the neighbor kids where their helmets! Of course, his has cool flames on it, so that may be part of the attraction.
One of my "to-do's" is to add pictures soon. . . very soon. . . REALLY! :-)

Our Kole also wanted very much to learn to ride a bike. It took him three days. I took him to the store and had him try on a helmet, so we were good from the getgo. So far, we have had only one near death experience. However, he's now gravitated more toward computer games. How is Evan doing with his English? I have been teaching Kole at home during the summer. He will talk your ear off, but more than half of it is in Russian/Ukranian. Jefferson Hunt
