Yesterday Aiden had no school due to MLK day. Despite it being wet and rainy all day, I think he had a good time.

Just 2 Wheels
Recently we got Aiden his first “big boy” bike with no training wheels. However, teaching a kid to ride and running along side of them hunched over didn’t sound like any fun for the parents. So I got this idea, what if there was a pole at the back of the bike that I could hold onto and rollerblade behind him? Well, apparently just such a contraption exists.
On his first try he was riding without me holding on. Since then we have been practicing and he has become quite good. The bike is bigger and heavier than his last so starting and stopping on his own is difficult. Other than that I just ride behind him ready to catch bar if he starts to fall.
Here is a recent video of the action…

ohdeedoh Finals! (Please vote!)
I entered Aiden’s room into ohdeedoh’s color contest and after being one of the lucky ones chosen for voting, his room is now in the final 9! Please go there and vote for his room. 
I can’t sit still any more. I read OhDeeDoh on a daily basis and a lot of ideas I got for Aiden’s room were a result of that.

Aiden’s Robots in Space Bedroom
Quite some time ago I posted inspiration for Aiden’s room when he told me that he wanted a “Robots in Space” bedroom. Just a couple of days ago I posted an article, Parenting Through Art Direction. I finally finished his room and Aiden is definitely an “Ikea kid”.
