Bikes!

 Over the last two days both L & J have been asking "when can we ride bikes?!" Well today was their lucky day! Since we are practicing more physical distancing at school, there are only certain days in which we have the opportunity to play with the bikes. Very different than years past! The boys are starting to understand that we do not get to visit the same spaces or play with the same toys every day. A really difficult thing to learn! 

Another difficult skill we are working on his coping when losing a game...today, that happened to be racing on bikes. 

This is one area that can be extremely hard for anyone! You can see how the boys race on the bikes across the lot, but unfortunately there's only one winner. Both boys worked through some big emotions, but by the end they were back being friends. 

After playing on bikes for awhile, we headed inside to do some painting to make some proper 'thank you' cards. Over the summer some very nice friends and family donated lots of different different materials to keep everyone in our classroom healthy and safe. We are SO thankful and need to make sure we let those people know. L & J could not wait to paint some cards. After snack they headed to the the paint table and got started. 

Another great day full of adjusting and remembering. As the boys become more comfortable in our new environment at school they will only continue to grow in so many different ways.
