Spring Fever!

The weather the past couple weeks has been magical!  
Completely perfect - 
not hot, not cold, JUST RIGHT!  
We've been taking advantage of it 
with lots of playtime outside.  

Carson was very excited about the idea of changing his 4-wheeler into a 2-wheeler by taking his training wheels off.  At least he WAS excited...until he got on it.  He's been very nervous about it now and we practically have to beg him to get on and try.  
 I know he can do it, but he's so nervous that right now he doesn't pedal hardly fast enough.  It may be that the training wheels will go back on until he decides he's REALLY ready.  But in the meantime, we're trying to tempt him by promising that as soon as he can ride this bike very well, with lots of practice, we'll take him shopping for a new, bigger bike.  We'll see...learning to ride a bike without assistance is truly a right of passage for all youth!


Even Charlotte loves it outside!

making it all better with some brotherly love...

The other week Halle wrecked while riding her bike and skinned the ol' elbow up good. I was touched to see Carson hop off his tricycle, run over to her and give his crying sister a hug.

time to learn the way of the 2-wheeler...

Wyatt's been dying for warmer weather so that Daddy could take his training wheels off and teach him to ride a 2-wheeler bike. He's not there yet, but he is so, so, so close! Just a little more practicing and he'll be fine doing it all by himself.
