Look Ma, no Training Wheels!

Two summers ago, Scott took the training wheels of Megan’s bike at her request, and she did great. But then there was a school event that required her to ride around the school playground. For that, he put them back on, because her control wasn’t quite that good yet. Then last summer, she refused to ride without them. But we knew she could do it…just didn’t want to.
So this spring, Scott put a kick stand on her bike, and took off the training wheels. They spend a few afternoons over at the school parking lot practicing. He said the first few days were a bit rough, but she was determined and stuck with it. Here’s the result!

In other cycling news, Molly has also finally figured out how to pedal around on her trike. Thank goodness! I was getting tired of bending over and pushing her around on it!

Both of the girls are so proud of themselves, riding their bikes. We’re both really proud of them, too!

Easter Morning

On Easter Morning, the girls were up before us (as always!) and came down to dig into their baskets. The Easter Bunny had also left egg cartons out for them, but they couldn’t figure out what to do with them! Once I asked “What would you put in there if you could find it?” Megan started to run around frantically looking for eggs.

Scott had Megan stand up on the couch to get a different perspective to try to spot some eggs. It took a bit, but she finally found them!

When Molly discovered what was inside the eggs she was thrilled!

Sweet Dreams!

Since Starting Kindergarten, Megan has been really getting to be a better reader. She now reads to herself all the time and reads before bed every night. Often, she reads till she falls asleep, with the lights still on and her finger in the book. When I come up the stairs at bedtime and see her light on, I’m always eager to see how she’s fallen asleep.

This time it really cracked me up when I saw her. She does love her dinosaurs…even though you can see she’s pretty much surrounded by pink, otherwise!
