Look who's riding now!!

Can you believe it!! Noah learned how to ride his bike!! Woohoo!!

He is doing awesome. After learning to balance on his little strider he was ready for his other bike. The problem was not the "knowing how" it was just needing the confidence that he could. It was so frustrating at first I would give him a push and he would ride... REALLY ride... then he would get scared and run into the curb so he could stop.

One day he just decided... stubborn little guy... that he was gonna keep trying. Of course a little cookie motivation helped too :) but he DID IT! Just kept on getting on and doing it. Now this little man is just ZOOMING around the street with his brother! Can't you just see the pride on his face!

We adjusted the strider and handed it over to our other little rider. She is plum proud of her self too! She is really getting it though. Yesterday we were out there and she would get on the sidewalk and go down the little incline and pick her feet up. Before you know it I am going to be telling you about her learning to ride.



Beautiful Breakfast

Gabriel has taken too preparing the breakfast bowls lately. When I come downstairs they are always so neatly arranged waiting for mommy. I just couldn't resist taking a picture this morning. Such a clever boy I have :)

p.s. notice the vitamins are there too!

We love the Waterfestival

This was our second time going to the Water Festival in Anacortes and I have to say that it just might be my favorite festival. Oh maybe second... I am really looking forward to Shipwreck Day too. They have a great children's section where the kids get to make boats and then get to sail them. Last year Daddy got to do the hammering while I watched with Abby. This year I got to do it. Abby and Daddy watched but Abby did get to take home her own boat. I will have to take pictures later of their finished boats, because they brought them home and painted them this year.
