Adventures in new things

Zeru learned to ride a bike today.
It is amazing because he has had little interest in learning and demanded training wheels.

Many weeks after getting a bike for his birthday he finally tried it out for the first time today... without training wheels.

In about 5 minutes he was riding by himself. He even was riding one handed.

It is now his new favorite thing. Learning new things open up the world to otherwise unknown possibility.  If only I could harvest this excitement of learning and infuse it into learning spelling....

Ok, so our schooling is a little unorthodox,  but Zeru wants to be a pilot, so this is what we do for field trips. Plane museum stuff.

One of our recent lessons were on parts of a plane. It served as a lesson on horizontal and vertical because there is a vertical stabilizer and horizontal stabilizer on the tail usually.

Zeru also has a weird obsession with WWII which ties nicely into flight and history lessons.
