#2 Celebrates 7

It took a few days, but I'm finally posting pictures from Saturday's birthday celebration. Blessing #2 had a great day and is definitely enjoying her new goodies... and the cake was a yummylicious success.

We finally got her a big girl bike (no training wheels), and Monkey Daddy got her out Sunday afternoon to attempt two-wheelin' it. She actually caught on pretty fast and is now zipping up and down the path in the park.

Of course, after having maybe 45 minutes of practice time... total... and over three days, no less... she decided last night that it was quite fun the swerve the bike back and forth so that it would lean from one direction to the other.

Monkey Moma hollers: "Steady your handle bars! Don't lean like that!"

B#2 retorts: "But it's more fun to do that!"

Monkey Moma responds with sarcasm common sense:
"It's fun until you fall."

Give or take 2 seconds: SPLAT.

Followed by: WAAHHH, WAAHHH!

Prior to the drama of her prolonged wailing (and the subsequent protests after being told it was time to go inside), I had the camera out and shot a few short video clips... now compiled for your viewing pleasure.:):):)

B#1 is missing from the video, but that's only because she hadn't made it out to ride yet (deciding, instead, to sprawl on the couch while reading her new library book). She had only been out for a few minutes when I was having to drag the tired sobby one (and everyone else) in for bedtime.

First turn off the Amazing Grace video in the side bar;
then click the bike video arrow twice to play.
It's less than a minute and a half, and, yes, you want your sound ON-
When I clipped the videos together,
I put in music and sound effects!!:)
