Two Linnea things to relate today....
Linnea's birthday is in a few weeks. We are having a hard time figuring out what to do for a party. She wants one, but nothing we come up with is suitable (or easy to book.) Today she suggested a Pig Party. Remember, she loves piggies. Which of course made dh, AC, and I laugh and suggest a wallowing in the mud party. Tell 'em to come in bathing suits, make mud pies, get hosed off, eat mud pie cake, and go home almost clean. Hee. I doubt anyone would let their kid come to a Mud Pie Party, but that would be SO much fun.
Next.
LINNEA LEARNED TO RIDE HER BIKE TODAY!!!!!!
OMG. It's been... a long time coming. See, Perry and AC both learned when they were around four, but Linnea has had... a hard time. We've tried several times to get her to actually ride, but it wasn't very successful. We were at the velodrome today, and I tried one last ditch effort, with no success, on the grass. Then dh and I tried again, this time on pavement... and after he patiently got her to first balance, then coast... all of a sudden she was riding. There was very little tentative and hesitant, and unlike both Perry and AC, she seems happy to ride in control. Heh. Anyhow, we clapped and cheered, and called AC over to see, and when Perry's velodrome class was over, call him over to admire. She was proud as proud can be, which she damn well should be!
