One of the coolest things about having so much time and space at the beach was watching the kids work hard at and blossom in some new skills. For example, Katie spent countless hours perfecting her hula hoop moves (something that Mom still can't do). Neve, at the prodding of her new physical therapist, worked on pulling up to stand. But, Michael was the king of obsessing over a new skill. If he wasn't asleep or at the beach, you could bet he was on his brand-new motorcycle balance bike. For those who have never seen a balance bike, it is basically a tiny 2-wheeler that has no pedals. It forces the child to work on his or her balance (replacing the need for training wheels later). By the end of the week, Michael was zooming all around the resort on his wheels. He was even brave enough to try some bigger hills...see above!
