Bicycles

Jackson has finally decided he LOVES his bicycle he got for his birthday! And yay he is really good at riding it now too! And little Mr. Matthew has taken to his "bicycle" too (Jackson's old tricycle) and he is starting to get the pedaling thing down! Luckily David figured out using the handle of a shovel as a pusher, so that our backs aren't dead from bending over when we get back from riding around the block!

It has been nice that they are enjoying this now bc the weather is getting bearable to actually play outside and we had our yard reseeded last week (yay I am seeing sprigs of grass poking through), so unfortunately the kids are having to stay off of it for a few weeks! It is just a muddy mess out there with twice a day watering! (On a side note: David killed another snake out there yesterday, so we may never play in the back yard again- grass or no grass!)


Matthew is obsessed with wearing Jackson's helmet! We do have another spiderman helmet around this house somewhere that might actually fit his head, but it seems to be MIA! ughh!

I like the stick idea. Yes, Chris bolted a stick of wood to the back of their bike as well so he didn't have to bend over for them to learn. Glad it works for David too!!
