two wheeling....

What a great, crazy busy summer this has been!  Between 2 kids running everywhere...parks, pools and now bike riding!  Emerson learned to ride a 2 wheeler this summer...so awesome to see!  We were riding bikes in our driveway on a Monday evening and she told Steve, "I want you to take my training wheels off".  Of course, he immediately said no!  I told him of a great park that has astroturf....I heard it was a good surface to teach little ones to ride a bike on.  If you fall...no worries!  So that night after dinner we headed over to the park and within 5 minutes she was cruising!  She had a lot of confidence on the turf because falling was no big deal.  We went back there a few more times for practice and now she's got it down.  She can ride all over our driveway and around a neighborhood path.  We don't have sidewalks here, so we have not let her ride in the street yet when we are out for an evening walk, but I think we are close.  So, so proud of this girl.
