Isaak Now Knows How to Ride a Bike!

Isaak's 7, and we just got him up and rolling with bike riding. It's not his fault that it took so long. We don't have sidewalks, and live on a semi busy street. We never got our boys a balance bike that I hear so many good things about. I just couldn't justify spending an extra $50 to $100 bucks on one. Mica was a late bike bloomer to.

He's looking less drunk (wobbly) and more confident each time he goes. :) He was pretty happy to show me his skills since he usually goes with Travis to the park to attempt riding.






Mica said, "What about me? Take a photo of me to Mom."Goof!


Do you remember learning to ride a bike? My Dad tided a pool on the back of our bikes. He held on, and would let go when he thought we were ready balance wise. I remember freaking out at him because he didn't tell me he was going to let go. That was part of his plan.

The Y

So I'm pretty sure Mica got his Ring Worm from the Y. In Jiu-jitsu they have sparring on the mats. My coworker had sons that wrestled. They got Ring Worm often. Really...how often do you think they clean their mats? My guess is never. I think it's common for all places to hardly clean their mats. Mica's Ring Worm spot after a week is nearly gone. There is no sign of it spreading. I was worried about Daddy and I getting it. We both touched it with coconut oil thinking it was eczema. Last night I grabbed one of their comment cards at the Y. I mentioned that they should clean their mats, and explained what class my son is in, they use the mats regularly, and that he got Ring Worm. There was a spot on the bottom to sign my name.

Would you sign your name?

Seriously it seems like every evaluation I do I get in trouble. I got called over by the head swimming lady one time because I wrote a little too much on their evaluation. Since then when they pass out evaluations I leave the room, or act too busy to fill one out. At work I got called into the boss' office once because I wrote too much on an evaluation. I wrote both good, and things they could work on. Somehow it was a sign to him that I do not like my job. I do like my job. Just like everything, we all need to work on things. Car dealerships want good evaluations. I've had companies say when I've been asked to review their products, "If you've found fault with our product, please don't write a review." I've also had others, which I like say, "We want an honest review. Please don't copy and paste verbiage on our site, and paste it on yours. We want the post to be your opinion, and your words."

Mica Practicing His Balance

Mica had trouble with the balance ball. Many of the other kids did as well. It was a good exercise.


Switching Gears 

I went to the Y to use the treadmill and lift weights. When I was in the weight room one guy kept standing and waiting for every machine I was on. I didn't even use them in order. Seriously couldn't he just use a different one, while I was on the one he wanted to use? It was awkward. Some people on Facebook mentioned, "Maybe he was hitting on you." I don't think so. He looked impatient to use the machines, and bothered by the fact that he had to bump the weight up on ever one of them.
