Maddie's New Trick

Maddie-girl is officially a bike rider! She was one bound and determined little girl. She had daddy take off her training wheels and then help her until she got the hang of it. It was so sweet. She would try and do it for a few seconds and be squealing in delight and then would get wobbly and make this horrible girl scream noise. It was pretty funny. Thats my girl...her emotions take exactly 2.5 seconds to change...its a woman's perragative. :)

It took about an hour and half and then something suddenly clicked and she just took off! She came running in the house to find me and said, " I can ride my bike and no grown-ups are even helping me!" She was so proud of herself. She also had one proud papa and brother out there cheering her on!


And she has been riding ever since. Literally. The whole day she stayed outside riding her bike.:) Way to go Maddie-paddie!

It's so exciting to see the little ones as they grow up...now kaylee's not ready to ride a big girl bike, but she can climb in and out of the toy box by herself. :)
