Bike Ride

Jackson has been riding his bike for a month, but has had trouble starting out.  Given Jackson's history with patience and persistence (not his current strengths), I was totally surprised when yesterday he figured out how to start on his bike--on his own, without prodding, after trying time after time, without really getting frustrated.  I was so proud and excited for him! 

Tonight we went on a family bike ride.  I loved watching Alyssa in the lead, Jackson navigating like it was old hat, and Matthew enjoying the ride from the seat behind Darren.  Great day!
