Brooks' Unicycle

Brooks got a unicycle last year for Christmas and never learned to ride it. After Jerry got to experience riding in China, he was determined to teach Brooks to ride. They go down to South each evening for about a half hour just to practice. They have a "block" set out that is their practice place. Brooks had a record of making it around in just 10 falls, then 7, and last night he called super excited to say he made it all the way around without falling! He is getting the hang of it and is really enjoying it now. He knows he is the same age as Jerry was when he first learned! Circus life here we come!!

Hanna news: a few weeks ago she decided that she wanted to sleep in her own room. Before I would ask and she would say no, but now that is where she wants! She started out not making it through the night, but would each night make it a little longer. Well the last 3 nights she has slept in her own bed all night until I wake her in the morning to take the GeGe's (brothers) to school! I can't wait for tomorrow morning when I won't have to wake her! She is also learning English very well. She adds new words each day and surprised me the other day while shopping with my mom when she said, "hungry mama, bites!" She is a doll and we are very blessed to have her.

Now you need to take Brooks to Belin Park so he and Jerry can unicycle together with the Chinese group. They would love it! Great pictures, Hanna is as sweet as ever, blessings, Sarah
