learning to ride...

well this post is long over due...as of july 24th kenadee is riding her bike with out training wheels. we helped her as much as she would let us, but then it was all her and we couldn't even touch the bike!!! all of the sudden she was off, in a left turn circle!!!
she could only turn left, and could not go down the sidewalk. and when she did try the sidewalk it was like a drunk bicyclist!!! i think it was too narrow, she needed more room (like the road!!)
she was so excited to wake up her daddy (he was on graveyards) to show him her big accomplishment. and what a proud daddy he was!!!

we were worried with the new barbie jeep she wouldn't want to ride her bike, well...all she wants to do is 'ride her bike without training wheels'. she is doing much better and learned quickly how to turn right, and to go down the sidewalk...straight!!! she has crashed a couple of times and has scrapes and bruises but she says that is part of riding a bike!!!

her favorite thing to say is...'i can't believe i got my ears pierced (still), and i can ride my bike without training wheels.' and this week it is the above with 'i can't believe i start kindergarten in 2 days, and it is my birthday in 4 days and i will be 5!!'

mom and dad can't believe it either!!! our little girl turning 5 years old, riding the bus, going to school, growing up...

GREAT JOB KENADEE! That's so awesome...Madison barely learned to ride a two wheeler, and she's nearly seven! Good luck on the first day of kindergarten Keri, take some tissue. They really do grow up too fast!

Does anybody ever get use to GREEN? It's the color you turn before you puke...doesn't that say everything? Not loving it...that's for sure, but it's only been 3 days so I'll give it time. I'm glad Kenadee has a nice teacher, Madison hasn't complained about hers yet so that's good. Hope all is well with you.
