On May 16th, Sean learned how to ride his pedal bike without training wheels. On the following Monday he started biking to and from kindergarten. We lock the bike up there. This little boy works very hard at biking. I can see that he is growing muscles in his legs from all the work. His appetite has jumped and we have shortened the bedtime routine so he can go straight to sleep faster. Sometimes my stomach lurches when he zips ahead of me on the bike to go "fast and fast" down a big hill...but all those months riding the balance bike have paid off.
Lately, he has been helping me in the garden. We borrowed the neighbor's toy wheelbarrow so Sean could load it up with mulch using his big plastic beach shovel. Then he pushes the wheelbarrow across the lawn to dump the mulch under the hedges with a little help from me. He tried to push the adult wheelbarrow, but of course that wasn't working. So we borrowed the neighbor's child's wheelbarrow for a few afternoons.
