When we were in Florida for Christmas this past year, we were given a hand-me-down bike for Sam. We put it away for a while because, honestly, I wanted him to play with all of his new gifts that people had loving picked out for him. Well, recently he found it in the shed and began begging Chris to put the training wheels on it so that he could ride it. Done and done. He's getting pretty good at riding his "big bike." The biggest difference from the tricycle, of course, is that he can't pedal backwards without jerking to a stop. Part of the game is also to get a wrench and "fix" it, just like Daddy did - every single time.
Not to be outdone by her brother's new trick, Lady A has recently mastered a new skill as well. My bitty girl is now a sitter! In a matter of 10 days she went from not even being able to do a tripod sit to full, independent, playing with toys sitting up. And we've been at this point for about 5 days now! Of course she is still unstable, and sitting is not to be practiced unsupervised, but she is getting more stable and stronger every day. Soon she will be able to sit in the grocery cart...and that makes life just a little bit easier!
