Today, the stores I shop at sell sneakers and even dress shoes with velcro. It seems sensible to buy those shoes when you're in a rush and especially if you want your kids to put on their own shoes! A is definitely up for any challenge and she learned to tie shoe laces rather quickly, practicing on Daddy's shoe's. We bought sneakers recently that have laces so she doesn't have to worry about losing her new ability. Check!
This Summer I was determined to get my little girl swimming like a fish. Swim lessons? I didn't put her in any this year. I was thinking that she could learn under the tutelage of her parents on our trip to Florida this past Summer. She was excited to learn and I was excited to teach her. It didn't happen, unfortunately. A doesn't like putting her head under the water. This is going to take time and perhaps some help from professionals.
Biking. Another challenge that A was excited to take on.
We didn't have to wear these large helmets when I was growing up. This particular helmet (garage sale find) makes her look like she's going to be launched out of a canon! Safety is key, especially for new riders and for worrisome mothers like me. Perhaps, I should get elbow, wrist and knee pads as well. Oh, and a mouth guard!
I tried teaching her, but didn't have the patience. Daddy taught her and he's got all the patience!
She learned very fast, too.
#3, check!
That's awesome! Go A! I can picture the cousins biking together sometime in the future(with their Aunts of course!).
