Kayla has no training wheels!

My sweet girl is getting so big.  She has been waiting and waiting to learn how to ride her bike without training wheels, and we finally were able to surprise her with a new bike so she could learn!  She was soooo excited!  We took her to the elementary school that's just a few blocks away and brought dinner with us.  She didn't know what we were doing.  She thought we were just there to eat and play.  Then we told her that we had a surprise and made her cover her eyes.  We made the other kids do the same so that they wouldn't give the surprise away when they saw the bike.  When she opened her eyes, she didn't know what to do!  I swear she would've cried if she knew crying tears of joy was an ok thing to do.  Her reaction pulled at my heartstrings... it was so sweet!  She was more than ready to learn and had no trouble at all.  She caught on so fast and had sooo much fun!  There was a small accident when Jenna got in the way and Kayla couldn't stop fast enough.  Jenna got ran over and Kayla felt so bad, but we assured her that we knew it was just an accident, and although it really scared Jenna, she was fine.  It didn't take too long for everyone to get over that minor little bump in the learning process.  Soon Kayla was back at it again.  She thanked us for days afterward, and I'm pretty sure it will be her favorite thing to do this summer.

Owen could've cared less about a bike.  He was happy just to roll around the training wheels!
