Tricycle-ing

We finally purchased a bike helmet (or, as Cole says, "EL-MAE") for Cole so he could take his tricycle out for a spin.

It was pretty much the cutest thing in the entire WORLD.  Cole was over the moon about riding his trike on the street.  He beamed from ear to ear the entire time and cried when I told him we needed to head home.

He especially enjoyed "crashing" into the curb.  He is SUCH a boy!

Oh my heart...his first wheels, the first sign of independence.  Before I know it, he'll be asking to borrow the car keys!
