shoes, bike, tomatoes, and the deck

Last week I learned how to pedal the bike! I can finally reach the pedals. I've been putting on my shoes by myself, too. I surprised Mama and Daddy on Saturday when I put them on while they weren't looking! Daddy spent a long time staining the deck on Labor Day. He finished a good portion of it and has just a little bit more to do. Our tomato plants are finally growing. We planted those little seeds a long time ago. Now those tomatoes have to turn red!
