F on the bike and A on the potty

Yesterday(Saturday), F got on her new little bike without training wheels. Actually, we got the bike from our neighbors, their daughter is too big for it. I put a new wheel on it on Friday. It was too late to try it then, so we decided to wait till Saturday. Anyway, she got on it. P was walking and holding her arm and the were going side by side. At the end of our street, she said to P, "let me go" and he did and she biked. She started biking just like that! We both couldn't believe it. Today, we let her practice as much as possible. Very soon, she can bike next to us I think. We are two proud parents, we cannot stop telling the story.

Yesterday, we walked a little further so that F could bike a little more. One street further, we met a nice family. They have a 3 year old daughter and a baby of 8 months. They seemed very nice. Their daughter kept on calling F 'Emma' - nobody knows why - and they biked together for a while. F was so happy, she was biking, a girl was playing with her. She even responded to her new name!

Well, the story is not only about F, A had her triumph as well, and on the same day. We are busy with her potty training. She started a short while ago. At the last week at the school, they started training her as well. She is very interested and doing quite good... with the small one. When she has a stinky in her diaper, she remembers she has to go to the restroom and takes her diaper off and as you can guess, it is a big mess. Our bathroom floors are probably the cleanest of the country as I have to clean them sometimes more than once a day! Saturday morning, I heard A calling me from the bathroom upstairs. Finally, she had managed to sit on the potty on time. Good job girl! She is so funny, she sits maybe 20 minutes, reads all kinds of books and she is so excited to see the results. She might be out of diapers before school starts again.
