Milestones

There are just certain milestones that you keep track of as a parent and an individual. There are the ones like first teeth and first words. Then as the kids grow there are things like walking and potty training. Then some fun ones follow like learning to read, to pump a swing, and to ride a bike. Well, while we were outside working on the fence Sarah decided she was ready to ride a bike. Before now she has been too nervous to give it a good go. But she wanted to try so we pulled her bike out for the first time this season and within five minutes she was riding all by herself! What great freedom it is to know how to ride a bike! She has since spent a lot of time riding back and forth alone, with siblings, with friends, and then on Saturday James took the THREE older kids on a bike ride to the local McDonalds and around. My kids keep growing up!
