Indy spent most of the evening making this portrait of himself wearing a Bionicle mask (for those not in the know, a Bionicle is a robot type guy created by Legos)
The first picture is of the front of him and the second picture……. is on the back of his self portrait and shows the back of his head in the mask ofcourse!
I told him it was very detailed and that he is a very good artist.
He did it! He took off those training wheels and learned to ride his bike. It was a beautiful day here in the 60′s even though it was January. A perfect day for a little boy to drag out his bike and get serious
We tried many times before and it always ended in tears with him swearing he didn’t need a bike. This time was different , he actually asked to try. Since it was his idea, it only took 30mins of Mom’s help for him to get the balance right. I was so proud as I hung on to the back of the seat and could tell he no longer needed me for balance. Now he just needs to learn how to stop with out diving off 
It’s so funny, but he feels a little more grown up to me now. It’s a big milestone! Now he is one of those kids who will be cruising around the neighborhood on nice afternoons looking for his friends outside to play with. I swear I can still remember doing the same thing on my purple bike The Dessert Rose. Where has the time gone?
