As promised, a second superhero post for today.
Although it was freezing this morning when I took the kids to school, by the time the afternoon rolled around it had really warmed up (by "really warmed up" I mean it maybe got to 60, which is good for this time of year in Anchorage). With the good weather we all decided to go for a walk to the park before our guests came over for dinner. When we got back, Ethan (6) asked if I could fix his bike. Although the steering had been a little out of alignment for a few months now, somehow when we got home today his handle bars and his front wheel were not even remotely facing the same way. At first I was going to say no because I had to set the table before dinner, but then I told him I would work on it if he could run up and set the table for me. He agreed to the trade and off he went.
It was actually a pretty easy fix so when I came in Ethan was still working on the table. I went upstairs to let him know that it was all fixed. When he heard that he replied "Thank you Dad! That is something I would have never been able to do by myself. That is so great." He then said "I have something to give you" and he walked over and gave me a big hug.
Ethan is my superhero today for so nicely expressing his gratitude.
