NO TRAINING WHEELS!!

On Sunday, Bash learned to ride his bike without training wheels. He really did awesome! Joe held on to him for a little bit, running up and down the street, and then he was off....just like that. I thought there would be falls, skinned knees, a possible trip to the hospital, tears, but there was none of the drama I expected. It was amazing how he just took off. Joe really explained to him what to do and what to expect and he just did it. Of course I stood back, took pictures and cried. He is growing up so fast.

THE PALM TREE

Isn't it the truth that everytime you plan to get your kids pictures taken, they somehow get scratches on their faces days before. Sat. night, Bash ran head first into the rubalini palm tree in the backyard. We were having a lovely little evening hanging around the fire talking with the Cribb family when Bash went running from Hannah, looking backwards, and BAM! His face is all scratched up and he has a swollen lip from the thorns that were stuck in it. Boy, did it hurt! I am glad he didn't have a allergic reaction to it because the toxin in the plant stings bad enough! He is going to look pretty rough for awhile. So much for a relaxing evening.......

REALLY?
