Biker boys

Cameron, despite having bronchitis (!), decided that he'd gotten so proficient at his balance bike that he was ready to try out a real two wheeler. One or two runs down the sidewalk with him and he was off! He is so proud.

He can't wait to tell his classmates the news in the fall. This has become a common theme -- we do something fun and Cameron says that he will share the event at "news time" in kindergarten. Thus far we have his biking prowess, the emergence of his first permanent molar, a camping overnight with Daddy and seeing UP in 3D. Kindergarteners get to share news three days a week, whereas the younger kids have two chances each week to share news. It's a lot of pressure. "Wow," said Cameron, "we're going to have to do lots of fun stuff when I'm in kindergarten!"

Matthew, of course, is not about to be left in the dust. Even if his feet don't reach the pedals, he is GOING to ride a bike.
