Emma Rides Her Bike!

Last weekend was a big weekend for Emma. She's been begging to ride a real, (pedal) bike for months now. Last week she was such a great kid that it was the perfect time to reward her with something special. So while I was potty training our second born, Mark took Em to get a big girl bike! Of course she picked out the girliest one available, a princess bike with a carriage seat for your favorite stuffed baby (white & pink unicorn at the moment), and let's not forget the glittery silver streamers hanging from the handle bars for that extra kick of sparkle. Pretty cool. She was pumped! That afternoon, even though the weather was anything but lovely, Mark took her out. I waited with anticipation... Within the hour she was riding up and down the streets like she'd known all along what to do. She came back with a look on her face that was just priceless! I went outside to witness the real thing and there she goes! She was so proud, and we were SO PROUD! So for the rest of the afternoon, Emma rode her bike around the neighborhood with Mark running along side her. Pretty cute.

It's a milestone that happens once in a lifetime. We are proud of you Emma! (thanks Daddy for being such a great teacher!)

Listen to what Emma says to Mark when he runs in front of her... so funny
