A Day of Firsts

K and L both had a day of firsts and I am so glad I was able to witness both of them. The church had a big event for Upward's last day of games. They had a petting zoo, big jumps, horse rides, free food, and games of course. As soon as we walked up to the playing fields, L started pointing at the horses. She kept saying, "I wanna see horses". Since K had a game, I told her we would go pet them after the game. By the time we got around to it, they were giving rides. L decided she wanted to ride one, so we waited in line. I just knew we would wait in line, get up to the horse, and then she wouldn't even touch it, because that's what happened a month ago when we went to my mom's. I was wrong. Not only did she drag me to the horses, but she picked out the one she wanted to ride on, and had a blast! She was so excited to tell everyone that she "rode a horsie".

Later that evening, when M got home, K rode his bike for the very first time. M had taken the petals off a couple of days ago so K could learn how to balance it without interference. Once he got to where he could turn without falling and got confidence, he asked his daddy to put the petals back on. He was able to ride it his very first time. Within 3 tries, we was able to actually start the bike by himself too. He was so excited that we wanted to go around the block. I know what we'll be doing after church tomorrow.
