Our kid was so excited to go on a bike ride. We dragged him to a couple of flea markets earlier in the day. He was so good, and was really looking forward to this ride - our first family bike outing since moving to Springfield.
As soon as Cody assembled the trailer, the little dude wouldn't stay out of it. He even tried putting on his helmet by himself. Adorable, right? We were in for the easiest bike ride ever, right? Right?
Wrong.
The moment I strapped him into that trailer he started crying. "This will pass," we told ourselves, "He cried a little bit the very first time we put him in the trailer. That fuss only lasted a few seconds."
This fuss wouldn't stop.
The tantrum escalated. We only made it six blocks before circling around and going back home.
We plan to take the kid on more frequent rides as the weather continues to warm. I'll let you know how it goes.
Don't be discouraged. Kids get wackadoodles when it comes to switching up their normal. It will get better.
