And he is off...

Hooray--Caden has learned to pedal his bicycle! We have been working off and on to master this skill and this weekend, he took off on it! He has been sooo excited to go outside and play this past week and this weekend he drug his bike out and wanted help pedaling and then--boom--he was off. Caden kept hitting the brakes and it was work to get started again, but he was off to a great start Friday night and then on Sunday he got his bike out again, and was going all over the driveway and down the street! It really hit mommy that he is growing up! Several times this week when we have gotten home he told me that he will just go play outside by himself--and he does! Brynn and I check in on him and hang out for awhile, and then I go in and leave the door open and he has a grand time in the backyard playing golf, baseball, and driving his cars--I am so proud of him! (Expect when he thew a rock and hit a kid at daycare and he has also started running off from mommy at the park and store--Grrrrrrr--all the joys of being almost 3!)

Ready, Set, Go!

And he is off and riding!

Brynn is taking in the action and chewing on a stick--why not!

And then daddy got the motorcycle out and his bike was not quite good enough.
"I want to ride with Daddy, Mommy!" --came the pleas--so sitting on the motorcycle, beeping the horn, and reeving the engine will have to do for now!

My two happy boys!
What do they say--boys and their toys--and that is about right!
