go elise!







SO, in my failure as a mother, i have not taught elise to ride a two wheel bike. thus far she has not been to interested in her training wheel bike simply for the fact that seven year olds just don't do that. but last saturday i broke out of neglectful mother mode and decided it was time for her to learn. the mister took the wheels off, and with great encouragement from her friends who were so thoughtful and motivating...they wrote with chalk on the sidewalk words of inspiration for her, (and did i get a picture of that before the rains fell? nope.) she took off on wobbly wheels. within a half hour of practicing, she was off and hasn't stopped since. i'm so proud of my little trooper. it is so amazing and exciting to she her esteem rise and how eager she is to get out there and ride her bike with her friends. well done elise. you are awesome!
