Happy Birthday Ricardo

Happy Birthday Ricardo!!! On January 15, Ricardo had his seventh birthday.  We kept the event low key as there has been so much going on with Christmas and I just feel that he was overwhelmed.  He really doesn't have any friends at school yet so we invited a little girl who lives next to my parents who he has played with a few times.  We had a cake, balloons and some gifts and the little party lasted about 1 hour.  He was very happy with the party.  My Mother made pizza which he loves and then the cake finished it off.

Ricardo also received a bike just after New Years.  He had never been on a bike before but he was so happy to get a bike that he didn't want to wait for the rain to stop so he practised under the back deck.  He fell off a few times because he kept turning the bike so sharply that the training wheels couldn't help.  We have gone onto the road a few times and he did well on the down hill but the slight uphill grade back to our house was a little tough.  The weather won't be good here for a while but he will get lots of practice during the spring and summer and I am sure the training wheels won't stay on long.
