Helmet Envy

Ezra got a new bicycle helmet today. He has recently learned to pedal his trike and the kid can get going pretty quickly, so we decided it was time to buy him his own helmet. We traveled to Wal-Mart this morning and tried on several different styles... only one fit. The helmets for children 3+ were too small... so were the ones for children ages 5+... our kids have HUGE heads! He finally settled on a red one for children 8+ (he's only 4 years old). Asher wanted a new helmet as well... but I told him when he learned to pedal a bike, he could get his own. He seemed satisfied with that answer.

When we got home, Asher asked Ezra if he could wear his new helmet. Ezra was kind and agreed. So Asher wore the helmet... all morning... tags were still on. He wore it to eat. He wore it to play. He even asked if he could take a rest in it... but I decided maybe that wasn't the best idea. I guess in a way it's a good thing that Asher wanted to wear Ezra's helmet. Asher, being so accident prone, could really benefit from wearing a helmet all the time - and clearly he thinks that would be a great idea!
