(187) Bike Riding

Just a few short weeks ago Mitchell had no idea how to ride a bike and was getting so frustrated.  I didn't think he was going to ever learn.  After practicing a couple more times I feel like he is almost ready to try without training wheels.  He is getting so good!

(186) Zoo Field Trip

I went to the zoo with Maya's class today.  The weather was perfect and it was a great time.  Good thing Maya survived this alligator attack!

I just couldn't choose my favorite of this super smiley baby.  And there's about 5 more adorable expressions I did even post!

(173) Dinosaur Small World - Part 2

I posted a picture of Mitchell playing with this small world a couple weeks ago.  When I first put this together I couldn't have imagined how popular it would be with both Mitchell and Maya.  I simply cut apart a large box we got from an amazon order and started making a dinosaur area.  The fake grass and rocks I already had on hand from a fairy house that never happened (oops).  Mitchell requested the lake and fish for the dinosaurs.  He also requested the volcano. 
For about a week the volcano was just aluminum foil.  I still have the intention of making it truly erupt, but Maya used her imagination and made some lava out of clay.  She also made the octopus in the water.
I'm most proud of Maya's creation of a boy and girl.  She made these tonight after dinner.  She was working hard while Mitchell played some and watched.  I'm so impressed.

 I'm not sure how long the dinosaurs will live on the dining room table, but I have a feeling it will be at least a couple more weeks.  And when they eventually go extinct, I have the other side of the box for another type of small world.  The fun just never ends!
