Look who learnt to ride his bike! We're so proud of him and how quickly he learnt. He was off after just a few minutes. I didn't know how long it would take, but I was thinking maybe a little longer. I must confess, I refused to partake in teaching him as I predicted tantrums and tears. I think there were 3 throwing down the bike incidents and now Scott is looking pretty smug and deservedly proud.

I've lost count how many bike rides we've been on this weekend. Today, we've even been taking it in shifts to chaperone him. The locals are loving the entertainment. And Sam has fallen off twice, once when Madame Jeanette's chiwawa  thingy small dog ran out from under a car and the second when he fell into nettles...ouch! But, it's made him more aware. Good on you Sam!
