Learning to ride a bike

Perhaps you, like me, had seen the bicycles for young children that do not have pedals, they are very nice but expensive.


But there are other options, the other day I got the idea from Rachel's blog, there is always an economical solution. We have this bike that was my sisters, who are already girls.

The issue is that it is better to teach a bike ride that has no pedals or little whells, because the ability to balance can develop from the beginning, and avoid the insecurity that comes when the little wheels are removed.

Today, on a Sunday afternoon without rain, we tried it, I remove the pedals but not the chain I had not the right tools for that, so I just taped to the bike..


Bici

In just one day I saw progress, and my son (almost 5) was happy and confident.

Babies

Arañas bebés 

On Sunday, while working on the bike, I found a mother with her eggs under the seat and I knew I would have to make an eviction. 

The next day they were born.

Busy, busy

As you may have noticed I haveabsent, since I returned from Mexico I have been very busy, thankfully.

With Earth day,  there were several exhibitions in different places, I'm also in stage 3 (or 4?) on the arrangement of my home to finally feel at ease.

Still I always need to create and read.

 
Canasta de libros

The basket of books I brought from Mexico, I can't put down Tinísima Elena Poniatowska, it's great, there is an English version Tinisima, I identify very much with the love of our country, and also I liked to learn about the social struggles of the early twentieth century.

Botitas

I'm making baby booties to sell, the pattern of Needle Craft Patterns, worth buying, I think, offers 4 sizes, it is well explained and is super easy. It also allows to sell items created long as they are personal and not industrial.

 Bagel nocturno

In my nights of work I have ended more than once with a second dinner that fascinated me, bagel with tuna in oil with peppers and capers (plus mayonnaise, mustard and tomato).

I hope all the internet friends are doing well. Here, torrential rains have began for the season.
