New Tricks

Matthew learned how to ride a bicycle yesterday. He basically just hopped on and took off! He's been practicing around and around the block ever since--with Maggie running along behind (and usually barefoot).

Matthew: "You wanna know something really real, Mom? Colin told us that every bike has a number on it that says how fast the bike can go, so we looked all over this bike and we found the number 500. So that means this bike can go 500 piles an hour!"

I guess it could be really real, who knows how fast a pile an hour is anyway?

Those would be 'Pill Bug Miles'. They are just referred to as PMH or Piles Per Hour. In kid word, that is pretty dang fast.

Oh my gosh, that is SOOO real. :)

Mark thinks that the gears on his bike while are labeled 1-6 refer to how many miles per hour he's going. :)

I loved hearing about Matthew's new skill on the bicycle from Matthew himself on the phone last night.

P.S. I'm happy to see that Matthew was somehow able to get his bike back from Nathan. :)

Oh, I wish that we could get Aydan to ride his bike without training wheels---maybe I'll let him in on the miles per hour secret... That might inspire him!

Can I just tell you how entertained I am at reading your posts?? I seriously think you should write a book on motherhood. You have all it takes....I guess, except for time.=) Your kids are so funny!
