The weather warmed up, sort of

Here are the gifts that went along with the helmets. Contrary to what the picture shows, Reid actually got the bike while Ava got the scooter.


Thankfully Reid has a sister who is willing to take turns, even with her new scooter. It took Reid a millisecond to figure out how to scoot around. He loves it. Too bad it isn't his :)


Here's Ava enjoying some time on Reid's new balance bike. It's a little harder to ride because it doesn't actually have any pedals or training wheels. The kids are just suppose to use their legs. It really isn't that hard to use, but just not as easy as the scooter. But I think once Reid sees Ava riding around on it more, he'll give it a second chance.


Here's Ava finally getting a chance to ride her own scooter. It took her a few days and she has already learned how to use the back break and how to turn. With a little more practice she'll be able to go on scooter rides with her daddy. She cannot wait!

Balance bikes are the best! Anna had one and she had no problem switching to a bike earlier this year. Max had always had training wheels, which made riding a real bike a total pain for him. So, way to go on the pedal-less bike!
