Adventures in Solo-ing

Baby Bear is now a bicycle rider. Here was here inaugural voyage. (A neighbor friend was the launcher of this expedition because Daddy and Mommy Bear were to chicken to actually let Baby Bear fly solo.)

Since these maiden voyages, we have solidified her solo act with a jaunt around the block (about a half mile) with me on the scooter next to her. Starting and stopping still need a bit of practice but can't wait to ride the bikes to the pool and the ice cream shop this summer.

Where oh where does the time go

I know, I know.....I have been neglecting my little blog. I have been told that the Chronicles of Baby Bear are missed (quite loudly and often) by Grandma Bear. I will try to do better....which should not be hard to beat.....since all I have to do is more than one post in the next six months .

With daylight savings time starting tomorrow, winter is officially over. We have been having glorious weather that has allowed us to enjoy the reason for living in Texas.

I am Baby Bear's year of being four. Last year was all about the potty. Discarding diapers. Managing the going. With this firmly mastered, we can now focus on bigger adventures...such as discarding the training wheels on the bike.

Baby Bear told Daddy Bear that she was ready to toss the training wheels. After Daddy Bear found the appropriate tools and the wheels were removed, Baby Bear proceeded to decide she was not ready. Daddy Bear says the wheels are not going back on (was too much of a pain to get them off). We have lots of practicing to do in the coming period to master two wheel biking.

Would post some photos of this....but failed to bring the connector to my camera home. Will post some later.
