Ride a Bike

Melanie learned a new trick this weekend...  She learned how to ride a bike with only *2 wheels*!!!  This is a very exciting thing for her because she has wanted to know how to ride a bike, but has been too scared to let Brandon let go of her seat.  It took me telling her that Daddy had already let go and that she was doing it herself for her to really get that confidence.  She giggled and said "I didn't know I was that talented!"  It was really funny and cute at the same time. 

Here are some pictures:

 Melanie learned on her sister's bike (which is smaller), so now we will have to get her riding on her own.  I'm so proud of her!  And, as you can see, she is proud of her too.

While Melanie was learning to ride a bike, the other kids were having fun too.  Brandon let Oliver take a turn on the big kid bike!  He didn't like to pedal, but Brandon says he had really good balance.  That doesn't surprise me.

 Noelle was flying on her scooter!

 Oliver also enjoyed sitting next to me and pretending to take the girls' pictures.  He would say "Noelle, say cheese" and follow it by a clicking sound.  It made me smile.

It was definitely an exciting weekend!
