Biking W&OD Trail

Over this long weekend, Dad and Nicholas Biked the Washington and Old Dominion Trail. This was the first time Nick went on the "bicycle road", and it was Fun!

On Day 1 (Wednesday), we took a short (2 mi round trip) ride to inside the beltway with Nick's little Maqueen bike. But we decided to take a giant leap and bike to downtown Vienna to see the red cabos.

Nick was in full gears today. In the co-pilot's seat, he was such a good paddler, giving Dad a lot help going up and down the hills, and he "was not even sweating". Dad, on the other hand, was totally exhausted.... Sigh...

Nicholas' Homework

Now Mom has talked to Mrs. Weise, these are some of the homework coming back:

- Number of Sides in a Square
- Number of Legs of an otupos
- Value of 7 dimes
- Value of 7 nickles
- Legs of 6 dogs!!!!

Not only did Nick has the answers, he even read the questions right!

And Nicholas' first journal today:
"Win(when) I come home today, I ned (need) to do works! I am doing math and days of the week"!

New Journal

Dad bought Nick a journal today so that he can start writing diaries!

That was an idea from Mrs. Weise, Nick's teacher. Mom met with Mr. Weise for parent teacher conference last Tuesday. As suspected, Nicholas is doing great at school. He scored the highest in one of the recent exams, which Mom and Dad are still struggling to understand what it was all about. Mrs. Weise also suggested Nicholas' reading and math skills are at the level of first or second grade, and he should start writing three-sentence diaries everyday!

Home sick

Nicholas has been home sick for a week now.. Fevers over 105F, which scared the hack out of mom and dad - two different antibiotics plus Morton. And the doctors drew 5 tubes of blood from Nick.. Sigh..
