With the arrival of Christmas came the arrival of the much-desired bike. Unfortunately, no one told Savannah that she would actually have to learn to ride it. After watching other kids at the park breeze past her on their bikes with huge smiles on their faces, she naturally assumed it would be that simple. However, she soon realized that riding a bike takes skill, coordination and a bit of courage.
Hyrum demonstrated the proper facial expression when riding a bike. She was pretty amused by this and commanded him to "ride it!!" with his feet on the pedals. It took awhile to convince her that this was physically impossible for daddy.
And there's Viv watching everything in stunned silence.
In addition to a bike, Santa brought mommy a few extra lbs. To combat this, I've been doing torturous workouts. Savannah patiently waits for me to finish so she can have a turn. She carefully watches the instructor and lets me know when I am doing anything wrong.
I keep thinking she will give up after the first two minutes, but she does the entire 40 minute workout with precision. 
After exhausting workouts and scary bike rides, it's time to kick back on a Princess sofa and watch a movie with your best friend.
That picture if your two girls is just priceless. Viv makes the cutest facial expressions. Go you, working the fluidity bar!
ReplyDeleteWell, Savannah's looking very fit....is Mommy too? And I LOVE the facial expression lesson by Hyrum...I can't say that I recall looking like that every time I've been on a bike - esp not with the the helm op...
ReplyDeleteÆrowyn had the same issue with her bike at first... it will pass. We are hoping to do a lot of riding this summer and get the training wheels off. Wrævn caught on much quicker and way earlier. I wouldn't be surprised if his training wheels come of this summer as well.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that workout apparatus. Looks interesting. Good luck!! Working out sucks, but ya always feel better after ya do it.
