Juliet's Big Girl Bike

 Juliet has been earning her "big girl bike" for a few weeks now. Last week, she finally earned it. She was so excited to ride it. Once she finally was on, she was a little overwhelmed (as pictured below). She has been going through a phase for a while now where she gets scared from feeling too high, too unstable, things that are too loud, or things that she just deems "too scary". She was crying that she was too high and going too fast on her bike (even though Daddy was right there holding the bike taking baby steps next to it). 
 She snapped out of it after a bit, though. She goes very, very, slowly, and often needs pushes to keep her momentum, but that's okay. She's frustrated she can't take her bike on long walks yet. She got her big girl bike an entire year before Leah got hers, so it will take some time. She loves her bike, though!

 She was happy to arrange her baby in the bike and to pose by it. 
 Leah was pretty unimpressed with the process. She sat in a chair and read. She needed to be reminded to show some enthusiasm and pride in her sister. Stinker.
