Since school started last week Mateo has really wanted me to bike to school with him. So far the weather was uncooperative. The day before yesterday it was nice in the morning but rain was forecast for the afternoon. Yesterday was OK but he hadn't found his bike lock yet - other priorities kept creeping in. Today we listened to the weather forecast together and it is supposed to be sunny all day. On top of that I pulled his bike lock out of his closet where it was being used as a collar for his huge stuffed tiger. Finally we could ride to school; and we did.
We pulled in to the parking lot at the same time as the buses. What luck! As I chained his bike to the fence he called out to his buddies one by one as they got off the bus and proudly showed them his two-wheeler.
That's when I figured out the whole reason for this ride. It wasn't because it was fun to ride with me but actually to be able to show his bike to his friends! Once again Mateo had succeeded in bringing something from home to show everyone.
It's supposed to be sunny and warm tomorrow also. We'll see if he wants to go by bike again.
