Yippee! So exciting! Declan got better and better at stabilizing and eventually rode his bike all around the circle of our driveway. He’d asked about trying it a few weeks ago, then last week he and Mike practiced a couple of evenings, and today he got it! Papa happened to be here and got to see him ride, and we sent Mike a picture via phone to hold him over until he got home from work to see it himself! Amazing! I screamed and hugged D so hard after his first lap, and he was like, “M-o-mmmmmm….”
Also amazing – Quinn dumped three entire containers of fish food in our tank, and when I saw what had happened, she was so proud of herself, “Mommy, the fish are eating!!” What a good helper! : )
I thought a celebration was in order for our big day and made a chocolate mayonnaise cake for all of us, complete with lots of candles to blow out. Check back tomorrow for pix of all of this – I’ll edit them in.
HERE ARE THE PIX —
D and I gave it a valiant effort, but we woke up to bad news anyway – RIP our three fish and snail.
Setting up our celebration cake.
Blowing out the candles. Just because. : )
