Accomplishments

EMILY
Emily has learned to ride her bike without training wheels! And without Mom and Dad breaking their backs from bending over as they try and hold on to her seat.
Nope, she did this all on her own. Tyler bought her this cute little pink bike from Kazam. This bike has no pedals so basically she pushed herself around on this bike and just learned to balance. Her and her cousin spent about 2 hrs cruisin up and down the sidewalk on this thing. A week or so later (the weather was too cold to get out any sooner than that) Emily got her normal bike out and gave it a go. She had gained confidence on the Kazam bike so she wasn't scared to try out her own bike without training wheels and without Mom and Dad holding on. It only took her a few minutes on her bike and she was off on her own without training wheels and even more important she was in control of the bike. It was amazing how fast she got the hang of it. Now Allie enjoys playing on the pink bike.ALLIE
On our way to Jackson Hole for the LOTOJA in September Allie decided she wanted to be potty trained. She has gone in the toilet off and on for the last few months but I never really pushed it because it was too hard with a new baby. The drive to Jackson was 10hrs long as we followed grandpa on his bike. She stayed dry the whole way there! She has been dry since then (1 month). Day AND night. She has only had 2 accidents (both at night)!! JOSHUA
Josh is now 3 months old. He is always smiling. He loves smiling at his sisters. He has also started to laugh. It is so cute! He gets the hiccups every time just like Emily does. He is also sleeping through the night. He usually goes to sleep around 8pm and wakes up around 5:30-6am.

Oh, man! I love these kids. They make me smile.

I have heard about those bikes and have looked into them - it makes total sense! Way to go Emily and Allie to for potty training. How nice that she pretty much has done it on her own - sounds like a lot less stress on your part. LOL. I love the picture of Josh - such a cute smile :)
