We havae learned to ride the bike!
Brodie had such a mental block about riding his bike. When I took the training wheels off his bike he just wouldn't even try to ride it. He had been invited t
o birthday parties where he was supposed to bring his bike but he would not go because he didn't want to have to use training wheels or admit he couldn't ride. Finally on a beautiful warm day between snowstorms we went out and conqured the beast! It took all of two minutes or less to do it. Next hurdle - roller skating!
Basketball Season 2011!
Brodie LOVES basketball. As I write this he is using the living room as a basketball court. In my opinion he is really good too, but that is just me!
Big Day
We had to wake Brodie up for the 2nd year in a row, but he was happy to see the cheetah and snow leopard that he wanted for Christmas.
Christmas play 2010
Brodie was an elf in his Christmas play at The New School this year. This was fitting as he loved the show Elf when we went to New York.
Playing piano at the nursing home
In December Brodie's piano teacher set up a recital at the University of Arkansas. He would play on a baby grand piano on a big stage. We were so excited. Prior to that he invited himself to go with his friend Xavier and his piano teacher to play at the nursing home. He went up and played Doe a Dear from the Sound of Music. It was a really fun time. It was a really good thing he participated in this "recital" as I wrote his recital down on the wrong date so we totally missed it. I was really upset, but I guess it all worked out. I was really proud of Brodie. Even though he was very uncomfortable talking to the residents he pushed himself to do it.
