Bike Ride
Hello Everyone! We went for a bike ride last night with our new pull-behind cart thingey for the first time. Of course I forgot to bring my camera to work with me so that I could upload some pictures so I'll do that in the next few days. Anyways, I'll tell you about it...Peter didn't mind getting put into it...He kind of kicked his legs a bunch and smiled as if to say, "Let's go, Mom!" When we pulled out of the driveway, he threw his hands down, grabbed a hold of the vinyl and his eyes became the size of silver dollars! His eyebrows were all crinkled up. He had a VERY confused and a little bit of a scared look on his face. Ben and I rode for about 20 minutes around the neighborhood. Peter was stiff and stayed in the same position the entire time. He looked out the side window a little bit, but was mostly confused. We ended the ride when Peter's out-of-shape parents were tired (well, out-of-shape Mom, that is). He never cried, so I know that he was just curious and trying to figure out why he was "inside" and we were "outside" while moving as opposed to being in a vehicle. But the more we ride, the more he'll get used to it and I'm sure he'll crack a smile while cruising. When we were all finished, I grabbed the camera because I wanted to get the "after" picture where he had the confused look, but of course, being the photogenic baby that he is, he cheered right up, smiled and posed for the camera so I figure he couldn't have been too terribly tramatized by the ordeal. Come again soon and hopefully the pics will be up when you're back. Have a great weekend everyone!
