In the past couple of months there have been several changes for Caleb. First, his pediatrician decided that it was time to begin the ADHD medication that we knew would be coming due to his birth background. With the meds in place Caleb has become a totally different person. He is one who can concentrate for hours on a project. He can sit still for long periods of time. His motor skills have improved as well as his cognitive skills. With the improvement of the motor skills and his desire to have a new bike, dad and mom broke down thier resistence and bought the new bike. But let me back up a minute..... new bike was a big reward for improved behavior at school.....3 weeks of double smiley face stamps!!!! Caleb had saved up about $10 (which is quite a lot for a 5 year old) and decided he wanted dad to take him to the bike shop to buy a new bike with his money!!! So dad and Caleb went to the bike shop (very good friend owns the bike shop down the street from us) and Caleb picked out the bike he wanted. So, one very excited little boy brought home his new blue and green bike (green is his favorite color, just ask him!).
What fun to ride for hours and hours. Now he wants to take his bike to the Big Dam Bridge and ride there. Hopefully, his motor skills will continue to improve and the training wheels will come off soon.
Until next time, the doctor is out.....searching the internet for her very own bicycle
so she can ride with Caleb.......
