After talking about it for what seemed like forever, we finally got the kiddos bikes! We debated on waiting until Christmas to give them, but decided it would be better for them to be able to ride for a little bit before it gets too cold to in the coming weeks.
I remember learning to ride a bike growing up on the same sidewalks, the same street, as they are now. How has time gone by so quickly? I look at old pictures of me on bikes (like below with my brother teaching me to ride) and I can remember the uncertain, nervous feeling of getting up onto one for the first time and feeling like I might topple over. And here we are today (and by we, I mean PJ since he is the one teaching them to ride) with our kiddos as they learn to ride their first bikes.
The boys have picked up on riding quickly. They haven’t cried when falling down (yet!) and after about three days, are pretty much riding on their own, with their training wheels keeping them safe and balanced. Sis on the other hand is still learning and trying her best. I almost feel like she is borderline too young, but at the sake of not being left out, she needed one, too. And maybe, with a lot more practice, she’ll be better than them all!
It’s supposed to be sunny and hot this weekend (that’s November in Tennessee for you!) which will be perfect for a little more practice on these babies, and a very welcome distraction from agonizing over when we’ll find out the results from the election. Have you been checking your phone/TV/computer every 5 minutes, too????
Happy Friday, friends!!! xoxo
