Bike Rider

Nathan got a new bike for his birthday and for the past few months all he would really do is pull it around. He would hardly even let us push him on it. Well about a week ago he decided that riding his bike was a good idea. He's catching on quickly. He just doesn't have the steering down yet. Eddie got him a helmet that he loves so we are all set.

We have also discovered that Nate has a knack for jigsaw puzzles. I found 2 sets of puzzles with ABCs, numbers, shapes and animals at Costco. They were super cheap! I figured we'd just play with them or save them for later. But after doing one of the puzzles a few times for Nate and showing him how it goes together he shocked me by finding two pieces that had the same picture on them. He's starting to be able to match which pieces should go together and sometimes he can hook them together in the right place on his own. The best thing is that he can sit with us and complete a puzzle, which takes 10-15 minutes and doesn't get bored and want to leave. He just amazes me every day.

I'm done bragging now. :) I just never knew how much 2-year olds could do or say.
