Bikes



So our kids got bikes for Christmas (thanks to Apple J!!) and due to a busy schedule and weather we've had a hard time being able to actually use them. This last weekend was GORGEOUS in Texas and so Hubby spent some time outside with the kids practicing our bike riding. Pushing the pedals is a new skill for KP so we've been having her practice on Chubbs tricycle because it's easier to manage, but this last Saturday she rode her 2 wheel bike by herself (so it still has training wheels, she's only 3 1/2) from about 5 houses down all the way home. I wish I could have bottled the enthusiasm and pride this little girl expressed!! She was on cloud nine!!




And then they're Chubbs , what a kid! He wasn't so into riding the bikes, but he loved being pushed by Dad in either the little green car or on his tricycle. At one point a little piece of his trike came off and Dad got out a screwdriver to fix it. That was all the prompting Chubbs needed, he came running in the house and made me get out his pretend tool kit, he got his own tools and busied himself for the next 20-30 mintues pretend fixing his toy car!! Gotta love it!!

SO cute! We look forward to Kaden being able to figure out pedals. I think it will take awhile still but he now at least he is tall enough to reach them on his big wheel.
