We seem to do a lot with practical living skills as there is no way to know how independantly Matthew will be able to live as an adult.
Candace is teaching Matthew how to take off a bike wheel. He bought the bike used for $40.00 at Derald's Flea Market. The tires are dry-rotted and the tubes probably are, too.
We tried to get him to take the wheels off himself, but he wouldn't even try, so we turned it into a three stage class.
It is impotant that he be capable of caring for himself as much as possible. It is our job to accomplish that.
When our girls were getting their drivers permits, it was our requirement that they also know how to change a tire and check the fluids before going to take their driving test. We think alike in this area :)
