First Bike Ride of the Season

Last night we took our first bike ride of spring and it was wonderful.  The sun was out, the temperature was perfect.  You went out and helped Dad get the bikes ready before dinner, and all during dinner all you could talk about was going for a bike ride.  You even put on your helmet without much fuss. 

You rode behind Dad, and kept telling him "Not too fast", "Not too far", "Sit straight"(you're not sure about leaning over for turns and stops).  You loved it, and every time I could see your face you were beaming.  You didn't want to come out of the seat when we got home.

You were a really good traveler to Grandma and Grandpa Hash's house last weekend.  Even though the trip was 11 hours (counting breaks) you watched Elmo and listened to songs and slept for almost the whole trip both ways.  We got up horribly early (3am) for traveling and then took a long stop for breakfast with a place to play.  You are really starting to get interested in other kids and watching them play.

You now talk pretty much all the time, asking, telling, ordering, complaining.  We can have real conversations (simple ones) now, which is fun.
