When the sun gets in your eyes...

Jack was riding his bike in our circle this afternoon as the sun sank lower towards the horizon. He'd been out there for a good while when suddenly he stopped riding and started crying with his "hurt" cry. I went to him and asked what was wrong.

His response: "Da sun ud duh bonk ud duh eyes."

Translation: "The sun bonked me in the eyes."

I just had to laugh as I went to find his hat. I put it on under his helmet and he stayed out to ride for another hour.



A note about the bike: Yes, I know it's a girls bike. We just weren't prepared for him to be into bike riding when he was 2 1/2, or for him to get so good at it so quickly. By mid-summer we'll probably have to take off the training wheels. It scares me a little. I can see dirtbiking in his not-so-distant future...

  1. Wow!!! Already riding a bike and he won't be three for another couple of months! That's crazy! Ashley hasn't even sat on a bike yet. I was thinking of getting a trike for her third birthday. Then I came to the realization a few weeks ago that she'll probably only use it for a few months. So I'm guessing we'll be buying a bike with training wheels!
