Nick and Mia accomplished their goals (my goals) for the summer!!!

Nick learned to ride his bike without training wheels today! Way to go Nick! In the first 2 minutes, I was thinking that it would take a while. I was running along side him helping him balance while in motion. That was hard work for me. Then I thought I should just let him push off and glide while trying to balance. After 2 minutes of that he decided to pedal too and then he was off. By the end of the day he was pretty confident...he was riding fast and without feet on the pedals. Mia was cute...she was cheering him on.

Now for Mia's news. She potty trained over the July 4th weekend. Since I had a stretch of 5 days and we staying in town I thought it was the right time. We started by having her wear underwear and putting her on the potty every 30 min or so. She had a few accidents that day. The next day she had no accidents. She caught on pretty fast. She was dry at night too. We are finished with pullups. But we have to get up early in the morning to take her to the potty, but she goes right back to sleep for a couple of hours. The first couple of days I had to tell her I would give her candy if she would go back to sleep (bribery works). Now she just does it. Yea for my kids!!!
