With the weather getting nicer and the sun staying out longer, Barak has been riding his bike more around the apartment complex. We are experiencing such an interesting transformation with him right now. He is becoming a boy. Yesterday there was a moment that made Misty apprehensive at first but proud afterward. He parks his bike and climbed a wall to get to some flowers. When I say "climbed a wall" I mean he climbed up twice his height. (Think Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 2). He got to the top, grabbed the flower, handed it to me and then climbed down...all by himself.
Then there is this hill that he insists on going down which is much too steep for him to bike down safely. But he doesn't know that. He sees a hill that he wants to tackle and doesn't see any problem in trying. So we make it as safe as possible and let him have at it.
I suppose this is just a few of many more "all by myself" moments on the horizon.
