President's Day was the big day. Paige officially filled up her reward jar and we went to pick out her new scooter. She's been waiting for a LONG time. Seriously, over a month. That's really a long wait for our Paige of little-to-no patience. We hit the store after lunch.
There were no pink scooters. "It's o.k. mom, I'll just have a green one."
She really wanted the scooter in her hands at that very moment.
I said, "No, let's check one more store. I bet we can find a pink one."
I may as well have told her to wait another month. The drama. "The store is 5 minutes away, you can wait that long to get the scooter of your dreams, I swear."
Luckily, the next store had just what she was looking for, equipped with a bell and streamers.
She rode proudly all afternoon and even advertised her good behavior to the neighbors.

Today, well, today is another story. We're hanging out in front with Heidi and the girls. I had just finished a piano lesson with Hailey and Hailey hops on Kylee's bike and takes off down the street.
Paige is pretending not to notice.
Hailey is in preschool and can ride without training wheels. No biggie.
Yea right! Paige is miss competitive.
After Hailey leaves, Paige hops on Kylee's bike and in a matter of minutes is taking off down the sidewalk. Mind you, she knows how to ride on the grass but has been scared to death (up to this point) to ride on the pavement.
I'm a proud mom, yes I am.
Now, she's the master of 2 sets of wheels. I think she's smiling in her sleep, she's so proud of herself today.








On another note, Tyler picked out of the treasure box and looky what he found. hee hee!

HOORAY FOR PAIGE! And sorry, Tyler, not a fan of the new glasses, dude...you'll have to have Shane pick him out a new pair, hehe.
Okay, I love the straw glasses. They are hillarious! Way to go Paige! Bike riding is quite the skill to master. She looks pretty proud of the scooter too. How fun.
What a week/two days for Ms. Paige. So glad that she earned her reward and is finally now a two-wheeler!!!
She was very proud of herself yesterday when she rode into my garage when I got home to show me that she could ride her bike WITHOUT her training wheels.
"the scooter of her dreams..." hehehe...
