Jackson has a summer list of things he wants to be able to do independently before the summer is over. It is a very short list and we are now able to cross off one thing! His list includes;
1. Riding a bike without training wheels.
2. Swimming all on his own
3. Tying his shoes
Well he has conquered number one, pretty easily! Jack, Daddy and our friend Heather worked on the bike riding one evening for about half an hour. In that time Jack was able to ride straight down our street, about a block or two. Being the cautious kids he is, he wanted to quit on a high note so he went back (turned around manually) and forth about four times and called it a night. The next day he was all in and got the turns mastered! He loves riding his bike without training wheels, but it gives him a false sense of too big for his britches... He thinks he can ride anywhere on his own.
Next on his list is swimming. He got an awesome start last summer and we are just working on perfecting his swimming this year. We will see about the shoes... Definitely his least favorite to practice!
Way to go Jack!!
