Anna has big-girl bike envy, and suddenly the little pink ride-on car is nowhere near cool enough.
So I got out Carrie’s trike to see if Anna could ride it. She’s still a little too small to reach the pedals comfortably, even on the smallest setting, but she does love to push it!
I have a feeling we’re going to be spending a lot of time outside this spring and summer…
We picked up a new (to Carrie) purple bike with training wheels from a Craigslist seller today, and stopped at the bike shop for a new helmet and a new purple bell. And then Carrie got to ride her first two wheeler. (With training wheels, of course.)
Doesn’t she look so big?
And another first: Carrie’s first snow day off from school. Between a superintendent’s day, the trip, February break, the past three days when she’s been out sick, and today’s snow day, she’s attended school for 6 days in February. (To be fair, there have only been 13 days when school was actually in session, but still…)
And although I appreciate not having to listen to a long list of school closings on the radio, why does the automated call notifying the parents of a snow day happen at 5:56 AM? The bus doesn’t come until 8:30, surely they could have waited until 7 or so before ringing the phone?
Carrie is out sick from school today, her first actual sick day this year. Definitely tomorrow too. Poor kid.
