Riding my Bike

As the weather has gotten better, Drew was so excited to head outside and ride his bike. He said, "I want to take the training wheels off." I knew that would happen this year, but I didn't think on the first day. Well, he did great. He is so brave and not afraid to fall. He had problems getting started and stopping, but otherwise he did fine. He went about two house lengths by himself on the first day. A few days later he worked on it again. He lowered the seat, which helped him touch the ground, then he took off. Today, he rode to his friends house who lives at the other end of the neighborhood. He is looking forward to riding all over town this summer. I just have to remind him that he is not going by himself.

Happy Birthday

Drew celebrated his first birthday in America on his given birthday of February 14th. It was neat because it was also Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day. The day before we had family and friends over to the house to celebrate. Then on Sunday, we went to ChuckeCheese for the party he wanted. He had about 13 children show up. It was very crazy and busy, be he loved it. He got lots of Bakugan toys which is what he mainly asked for. He was exhausted when it was over. He loved it though. It is nice to have a little break from hearing, "For my birthday..."
