First, he finally rode a bike without training wheels! He has been so ready for this but has always refused. (a bit bull headed!) He rode a glider bike for the last two years and can balance well, but just didn't want to transition to a regular bike because it was "too hard" to pedal.
Finally, he got on the bike one evening at home after some coaxing from Chris. He needed some help to get started but then rode pretty well on his own. He struggled to turn the bike, but the next time he rode a couple days later, he was doing much better. Practice! Proud of Colson for finally accomplishing this.
(It was getting dark out and the pictures are terribly grainy and dark.)
The second big event may not seem like a big deal to us, but to Colson, it was. Tuesday, he got the snack box from school. This means he has to bring snack on Thursday. (I'm trying to figure out what on earth I have on hand for 16 preschoolers.) But we decided to fill baggies of cheerios and raisins. Colson loved using the measuring cup to scoop out just the right amount of cheerios. He was a great helper and he couldn't wait to take the box back to school to share!
It's the little things, right! What a good reminder.
Enjoying every moment.
