Casey's Newest Accomplishment

Yesterday was a magical day for Casey as he learned to ride his bike with no training wheels. He hadn't really even been practicing. I had given up really even trying with him because he got frustrated. But yesterday when he asked me to take the training wheels off..I did. And he took off. We went to Metzger Park with our Life Group last night and he asked to take his bike to ride around the path there. He did so well even on the little hills! It's amazing to me how something like that all of a sudden clicks. It just reminded me that kids do things in their own time. It is no use for us to force them into something, they will do it when they are ready. Chelsea is getting very good at pattycake these days and really is starting to enjoy playing with Casey and Audrey. That is very nice when I'm trying to get something done. She is at a difficult age for being outside since she can't walk yet. When I put her down outside she immediately goes to her knees and starts crawling and trying to eat whatever she can off the ground. Last night at the park it was a woodchip diet!
