Biking on his own...

Last night I went out with the girls for a fun evening. My mom took AnnaMae so that Brian and Luke could have some "Guy" time.

I got home really late and Brian proudly showed me a map of the neighborhood with a red line drawn around it (see exact diagram he made).
Just so you understand: the red is the path they took, the black lines are segments where Daddy wasn't holding him. The daqshes are where they had to stop for a break. So you can see that Luke was riding on his own for most of the journey.

That's over 2 miles! Brian was running behind Luke the whole way. Luke was wearing his flip-flops so he kept losing his shoes, but still, not bad!

Luke hasn't quite mastered the whole concept of breaks and turning, but he's got all summer to work on it. This means that Daddy will get a great workout running behind a now very-mobile 5 1/2 year-old.

Luke also has now completed Kindergarten. He is officially a 1st grader. One year of school done, 16 or so years to go. They're tearing down the old elementary school this week, so Luke gets to go to a brand-spanking-new school next Fall.

What a grown-up little boy we have!

WAY TO GO LUKE!!!
