Modes of Transportation

On Monday I suggested to the girls that we walk down to the park (and Starbucks, of course). However, instead of letting both girls ride in the red wagon I thought Amelia might like to ride her bike. She was excited to ride her three-wheeler and said she wasn't a bit tired when we reached the park.

I was really impressed with how well Amelia did, though she did need a little help whenever she was going up an incline. And I mean ANY incline. No matter how shallow the climb - even if it was an incline of two degrees - it would make Amelia slow to a stop. But I'm sure that the more she rides her bike, the stronger she'll be and the less frequent her stops.

Yesterday was daddy's day to come home early, so he brought the girls outside to help him wash the truck. They both did a great job.

After a lot of scrubbing Amelia decided that she wanted to be the wash-down person instead of the scrubber. She pointed the spray nozzle every which way while trying to squeeze the handle and get the water to flow, and I was a bit concerned she was going to get a face full of the wet stuff. But she finally got the hose working and did a good job of hosing off the truck. As you might of guessed, Diana also wanted to use the hose after seeing Amelia do it, and she did a great job as well.

Both girls were soaked after they finished the truck, but everyone had fun. At one point, Amelia was directing Diana to scrub small patches on the side of the truck, which Amelia would immediately rinse. This went on over and over and became extremely funny after about the third run through.
