Riding on Two Wheels!

Our garage sale holy grail this summer was to find a small bike for Alex. A few weeks ago victory was ours! We found a small two-wheeler that was relatively free of embellishment.

Alex was excited to give it a try, but, in all honesty, the fact that it brakes when you turn the wheels backwards was a bit challenging for him to overcome. He managed to get a bit of forward motion going, so we had a fun short ride and will keep working on it so he gets the idea.

Family Portrait

Alex recently brought this family picture home from school. He's just starting to draw faces and figures more regularly, so this is the first "real" family picture of the three of us that he's drawn.
