Matthew got his first big boy wheels on May 6, 2001 -- a bike and a scooter!  Now he can be just like all those cool teenagers zipping all over the park!  (Yikes!) Matthew hated the helmet at first, but we made him wear it anyway, and now he loves it!

Daddy and Matthew head off to the park for his first ride.

A storm quickly moved in, so Matthew got to test drive his bike in the kitchen (or as Matthew says, the "chicken").

What do you mean "no riding in the house"?!

Cool is...

... as Cool does!

"A bug!!!  I see a bug!  You see bug?!  Look at bug!  Let's get bug!"

You talkin' to me?

It's Matthew!

Daddy!

Daddy's hat!
