About a week ago, we were getting my 2 year old son ready for bed. He had just finished his bath and gotten his pajamas on. We sat him up on our bed while the TV was on. While my wife was doing a few other things me and my boy started flipping through the channels while he sat there and sipped on a cup of milk. We came across ESPN2 and they were airing a motocross event in San Diego.
"Bike," he yelled.
"Yes, those were bikes." I kept surfing the channels.
He leaned over to me put both his hands on my face, made me look at him in the eyes, and said "Bike!".
"Ok, I'll put it back on the bikes." As I made it back to motocross, he smiled, pointed, and once again said "bike."
So, at the age of two, my son loves bikes and motorcycles. I am ok with that, I actually like them too. The only problem is that every night before we go to bed, he wants to sit on our bed and watch the bikes. ESPN doesn't carry motocross every night so we have to endure the repetitive requests for "bike, bike, bike, bike, bike."
Thank-you YouTube and all the people who contribute to the site. Particularly, DemonChick88 who provided an 8 minute compilation of freestyle motocross that you can watch below. I don't know who you are DemonChick, but last night you were seen as an angel as we opened up the laptop and sat it in front of our son. He fell fast asleep watching "bikes."
Cool post and video.
ReplyDeleteMy boys are going to love to watch it when they get home from School. My oldest son is really big into motor bikes.
Thanks for sharing this with us brother.
I hope you have a great week.

Now all you need to do is get him a tattoo and he'll be ready.
ReplyDeleteThat's what my mom had to put up with me and Sesame Street. Oh how she would have killed for TiVo or even a VCR when I was that age.
ReplyDeleteWow, big brass ones they have. Wish I was that brave
ReplyDeleteThis is why we are thankful for DVR! Elijah has to watch Baby Looney Tunes or "tunes" as he calls it every night right before bed...luckily we keep them recorded so that we can oblige his requests! These kids don't know how lucky they have it!!
ReplyDeleteI remember when you used to ride your motorcycle when we were growing up!
