It was such a gorgeous day out today! I cant believe it's just a few days into February and the temperature was in the mid 60's...AND we aren't even in South Carolina! Such a tease...but a nice one. If anyone can't wait until the Spring time, its me!! It was definitely flip flop weather today if you ask me and I totally would have worn mine if Mattison would have let me go back in the house to change my shoes. I'm in love with my flip flops. If it were up to me I'd wear them all day, every day. Usually I wear them up until the 1st day of December. Sadly, that's a true story. ;)
Had a great time with Mattie today--just the two of us. I asked her what she wanted to do and she wanted to do nothing but ride her bike around the block, so that's just what we did. I don't blame her...we needed to get out. Being cooped up in the house staring at the four walls gets boring and drives you nuts after awhile.
She hopped on her bike with her baby on her back (can't forget baby!) and went whipping around the block with me walking as fast as I could to catch up with her. Man, that girl is fast! She amazes me. Don't ever doubt her...she may be 3 but she will do just about anything anyone else can do...and most of the time she CAN do it. I was thinking back at the day she literally just hopped on her bike and just pedaled away. For weeks I had been teaching Mason how to pedal...showing him that if he pushed as hard as he could, his feet would go 'round and 'round and his bike would move. It was tough for him though because it just wasn't clicking with him and his legs just weren't strong enough to push the pedals.I was in shock with Mattie though. She was two and a half at time time! Mommy or Daddy is supposed to teach you how to ride a bike first, isnt that how it works? Well, I guess there is always teaching her how to ride without her training wheels then...
On our walk, I think I almost had a heart attack as she was pedaling around that one sharp turn on the sidewalk closer to our house. I was yelling at her to slow down and I hear her cute little voice in the distance yelling at me - "Its OK Mom, I'm fine. Catch up Mommy!" She had me cracking up, yet cringing at the same time thinking that she was going to wipe out at any second, BUT she made it. Of course she did, that's Mattison for ya.
On our second trip around the block, she jumped off her bike and found a ton of rocks..."Here Mommy these are for you". She's so thoughtful. :) My thoughts were-i love it, but where am I going to put these now? I hate throwing out anything that my kids thoughtfully picked up just for me. I have a ton of dead dandelions just sitting in a bag that Mason picked just for me in the summer time. What the heck is wrong with me? Lol.
