Teela gave us her old front-mount bike seat for babies. We finally got around to attaching it to a bike a few weeks ago and Max has been in heaven ever since. He rides right up front. He likes to stare down at the ground as it zips by, ring the bell, and grab the handle bars to veer the bike into a ditch.
We've even taken to "walking" the dogs on our bikes with Max in the seat. It's a great way to give the dogs some exercise when we're short on time and the experience is more enjoyable for Max (and hence for us) than if we walk with him in the chariot. (He's developed a need for speed. The chariot at walking pace no longer cuts mustard.)
A while back gramma and grampa got Max a bike helmet. We've decided that the easiest way to get children accustomed to wearing a bike helmet is to raise them so that they never know any different. Today I snapped some pictures of Max in his favourite bike chair wearing his helmet.

| Mommy's sportin' a funky new sun-hat-plus-helmet look that's sure to be all the rage. |
 |
| "I like sitting here so much I forget I'm wearing this helmet!" |
I'll finish with a couple more unrelated pics taken on or before our dog walk this morning.

| These mongrels are the whole reason we march in the baking sun day after day. |

| Our clothesline doing what it does best. It's mounted on our deck at one end and 20 feet up a pine tree at the other. Note the beans growing on a railing box in the foreground. What a great yard. |
