Aaron has become an expert precision driver on his big wheel over the past couple of weeks that he has owned it. Although it is low to the ground we want to begin the routine of bike=helmet now.
I may have mentioned before that Aaron's head is.... larger.... than 99.9% of kids his age (I actually have a growth chart----several growth charts to prove that----I'm not exaggerating). So after much searching we found a helmet that fits Aaron properly, is rated well be consumer reports, and is comfortable. It is a Bell Trigger in case anyone else is in the youth bike helmet market. Yes, youth size, not toddler size. Oh boy.
A pretty sunset from our patio the other night.
Aaron affectionately calls the capitol building in Salem, "Papa's Capitol". Since Papa works there, he clearly owns the place. And also the golden man at the top of it, according to Aaron. Whenever we come into Salem over the bridge Aaron spots the golden man and says, "there's my Papa's capitol! And there is his golden man!"
So today Papa took us all the way to the top of his capitol to see his golden man up close. Minnie Mouse came along (of course) and Aaron did a great job going all the way up and all the way down on his own. On the way there he assured Minnie that he would hold Papa's hand in case Papa started to fall. Minnie thought that was smart.
