Rock Hunting with Papaw

Daffodils and Daddies

We were hoping the Tulips would be in bloom while my daddy was visiting but it was a bit early for those. We did get to see the daffodils in bloom. It is really amazing to see a field full of flowers. After taking lots of pictures of all the flowers we headed to LaConner to see the shops. We ended up stopping in the ice cream shop and getting a little treat.

More Please Daddy!! He can't resist when I bat my eyes at him like this.

A New Bike

Last summer we discovered the most ingenious way of teaching a kid to ride a bike. We took the pedals off of Gabriel's bike and had him run with it and learn how to balance that way. Within a few days he was riding like a pro. We wanted to do the same thing with Noah but Noah's bike was just a little too high he couldn't touch the ground with his whole foot just his tippie toes. I did some searching on the internet and found this run bike called strider. It is for kids between 2 (and even a little younger) and 5 and it doesn't have any pedals. It is just for running with. Go do a youtube search on strider bikes you would be amazed at all these teetiny kids riding bikes. I mean really riding. They run for a stretch and then they pull their feet up and balance. The idea is to learn balance first and pedaling after. So I got one for Noah and he loves it. It took him awhile, he doesn't have the best balance, but he is really getting it now. He is totally enjoying being able to ride bikes with his brother. I think in a few more weeks I may try to get him on his regular bike. After that the run bike will be Abby's.
