Caitlin learned to ride her bike yesterday!!! She's usally on her scooter, but we were waiting outside the chiropractor for my little sister's appointment and there was a consignment shop next door with used bikes on display. Caitlin said that she needed a bigger bike (her old one is pictured above) so I pulled one out of the bike rack to see if it was her size. And she rode away!!!

She's the kind of kid who potty trained herself the day she got underwear and also stopped sucking her fingers cold turkey when she turned three and decided she was too old. I'm so proud. We came home and pumped up the tires on Jordan's old bike and she's been riding ever since. The hardest part for her was learning how to use the brakes. At first she would perform this death defying dismount and drop her bike all in one motion, but she's improving.

Now Lauren decided that she needs to move on from her tricycle and has been riding Caitlin's old bike. It was so cute yesterday--like something out of a Disney musical--when we went on a walk/bike ride and she sang the whole way. The song went something like this:

"I'm riding my bike, I'm riding my bike, I'm riding my bike all by myself. Now I'm falling over. So I get back up. I get on my bike. I put one foot on the pedal. I put the other foot on the pedal. I'm riding my bike, I'm riding my bike, I'm riding my bike all by myself!"
