Time to ride bikes!

Kaitlyn is doing great getting used to her brakes! She is a speed demon - not too shocking! She just needs some practice stopping before she hits things.
NO MORE TRAINNING WHEELS!

Kelsey learned to ride her bike without training wheels after about 4 practice sessions! We tried last year but didn't see any motivation - she begged to have them put back on after the first day! This year she was motivated! She practiced gliding down the driveway and gliding down a little hill near our house. One day she was having lots of trouble so I sat on her bike and realized that the steering wheel was crooked! She had no chance! Once I got that fixed up, she did it after 2 more practice days. She's going around turns, going up hills, she's ready for summer!

Time to Say Good-bye to the train people til next year!

Kelsey and David were happy to take turns racing the train through the country and the city. They like to turn out the lights and make the train fly around - literally off the tracks.
Ryan and Kaitlyn preferred to play with the Barbie House on this night. They all had a good time playing in the train room one last time before the train is packed up until next year!

I Just Got My Ears Pierced!

Kelsey jumped out of the seat - thrilled to have it done! Kaitlyn sat very quietly and almost started to cry! She was so set on having it done but I think she was surprised that it hurt!
Wait! What! This hurts!

Oh Yeah! Kaitlyn was completely confident that she wanted her ears pierced. She's been waiting a year to have this done!

The bear in her hands kept inching up toward her ears. She didn't care at all about carrying a teddy bear into the mall. She was really scared when it finally came down to the time to do it.

She wants to have this done , but she doesn't want it to hurt?
