tricycle and the park

It's no secret that Lewis is not the most coordinated child. However, since it has been nice out, Justin put the tricycle together that the boys got for Christmas (it is multi-functional so we could push Owen on it too if set up slightly different). Beth came over for some bonding time with Lewis and he wanted to try it out so she helped him ride around some. He actually seems like he's getting somewhere with pedaling. Steering is another story. It's like he has no idea his arms can do something while his legs are moving.


All of this to say.....we are sure he'll get it. He can go for a few feet by himself if he doesn't run off the road. And he seems to really like it too, which helps a lot!

This morning I dropped off a grant application for help with Lewis' therapy etc. It has taken several months for me to get it together! It is a relief to have it done and to just wait to see if the committee has favor on us. To celebrate, Owen and I went to the park. He is a crazy man! He loved the slide and the wobbly walkway. You can tell how fast he is going in these pictures.




He also discovered the purple flowers growing in our yard.
