Linc's first day at Pre-School

Once upon a time (about four years ago), I used to be able to fit this kid in the cradle of one arm.

Now he's at Pre-School. Mum was a bit emotional, but that is to be expected; Linc had a ball and didn't want to come home. Today was only 2.5 hours, tomorrow is 8.45 to 14.45; we'll see if he still wants to stay at Pre-School after a full day there!

As you probably noticed from the last post (photo) Linc is already quite big for the bug bike; and, since he's done so well pedaling on the bug bike we decided to get him a new bike today. He wanted to leave the stabilisers on at first, but he seemed to struggle with them as he was used to balancing on the bug bike - so off they came, and away he went, pedaling like a champ up and down the street. He can even take off on his own as he gets a bit of speed up before putting his feet on the pedals.

We are so proud!

The bug bikes have been a huge hit with both of the kids; especially at the coast where they just about wore them out. But it was obvious that Linc was ready for the next step: pedals!

So today Dad fitted the pedal box to the bug bike and he just took off, pedaling like a champ! So proud of him.
