Tonight we went to get Joey a new helmet at Walmart so that Tom could take the boys for a bike ride tomorrow morning. We got to the helmet section and started looking for ones that would fit. Instantly, Joey saw a helmet that he wanted and insisted on having. Did it have flashy race cars on it? No. Did it have monsters on it? Nope. Did it have cool racing stripes? Definitely not.
This, my friends, is the helmet that my firstborn absolutely NEEDED to have and put on as soon as possible. We tried to show him all the cool boy themed hats, but he insisted on the pink unicorn with a horn. Now before you get all gender-issues on me, understand that I am totally for my sons cooking at kitchenettes and consoling baby dolls. But this helmet. I don't even think I could bring myself to let a daughter buy this helmet, let alone my son (remember my pink and purple issues?) It has a horn and ears for goodness sake. Do you blame me?
So we distracted him with a spatula and switched out the helmets when he wasn't looking. We got home and instantly fell in love with the one we picked out. Phew. He even insisted on wearing it while we read stories before bed.
Then he insisted that Moses put on his helmet, too.
(Don't worry. That curl in front of my ear is driving me crazy too. It's not supposed to do that, I promise)
Our boys are so much fun. Hopefully they don't soon realize that the helmets can allow them to run into things harder without fear of getting ow-ies on their heads.
bahahahaha! Love the unicorn helmet =). Be happy that they enjoy wearing them, Jackson screams nearly every time he has to wear his, which happens to be quite frequently ;)
