Growing up so fast!

Melody's friend came to the park a few weeks ago super excited to show her that he had finally figured out how to ride a two wheeler. Before seeing him she had absolutely zero interest in learning how to ride a two wheeler. I had even suggested once or twice that we try riding without the training wheels and she freaked out! However, after seeing Patrick zip around on his bike she took it upon herself to find the tools and take off her training wheels on her own. My giant belly makes it a tiny bit difficult to hold on to her seat and help her find her balance so she was completely on her own for this one. She's been working on it for almost two weeks and last Friday she finally got the hang of it! Now she wants to take her bike everywhere!! Also, much to Katie's delight, now that Melody's completely occupied with her bike she's more than willing to let Katie borrow her skates. Lot's of good exercise happening around this house lately! I'm super proud of them both and how tenacious they are when they are ready to learn something new. There's no swaying their interest until they've figured it out.
