5 year milestones





My little Holden can ride a bike without training wheels! He decided yesterday that he wanted to ride his, "two wheeler." Russ was home and he asked him to help him. I came home and Russ said he went about 7 houses without falling over. So today he wanted to show me. The kid was off around the neighborhood within minutes. Ashley also has been out riding her Dora bike with training wheels. She looks miserable in the picture, but she wanted me to still take a picture of her even though her bike flipped over, and she was still crying. She will ask a million times a day to ride her bike, and I'm sure Holden will be jumping on that bandwagon. As they were riding around the block I was thinking today about how many things a little kid learns. They say that the first 2 years of a child's life they learn the most. Such as, talking, walking, crawling, eating, drinking, and the list goes on. I'm amazed at what they learn after that too, but really 5 years is quite the milestone in itself. They learn so much as they start school, learning to read, tying shoes (still working on this one), riding bikes without training wheels, taking on new jobs in the house, etc. It seems that with each child and each age they all hit the same milestone. It really has amazed me to watch them all learn new things at their own rate.
