Today Kennedy was bored while I was reading a book so I told her to make a birthday wish list. After writing down "hula hoop", she wrote "practice riding my bike with no training wheels." So today dad took them off, and within an hour she was riding on her own! It was a proud moment for her dad and a relief for me (she's always been so tentative about things like that, but Brian says she gets it from me because I don't like to ride fast on my bike downhill. Oh well:) Anyway, it was a great day for Kennedy today. Another big step toward independence. It made me think of all the bike rides I took as a kid. I remember riding to Tom's to buy a candybar. We rode to Kings all the time to look at all their toys and goodies. Sometimes we'd stop in the petshop to look around. We rode to the school all the time, since it was only a block away, to play on the big toy. Lots of good memories on the bike, and it's fun to think of all the ones Kennedy will make now. Time to go for our first big bike ride in the neighborhood together!
On a completely unrelated side note....Brian and kennedy have been setting a cat trap since we've had a few stray cats around the yard and field behind our house. They've been using canned cat food to attract the cats to the trap. Well today I got out some roasted red pepper hummus to dip my celery in (which is delicious by the way), and Kennedy asked if she could have some. So she came over and dipped her celery in the hummus and said, "it kind of looks like cat bait, mom." Hmm. I guess i wasn't too hungry anyway....
