Goals

I've never been one that likes to set goals because I HATE not being able to achieve them but, none-the-less I decided to set myself 2 goals for the summer.
Goal #1: Teach Avery to ride a 2-wheel bike
Goal #2: Teach Avery how to read
I realize these are both Avery related goals and it's not that I'm favoring her over the boys. It's just that Avery and Jess have had their fair share of "issues" over the last five years and it's best that I attempt to teach her these life skills and spare them any more drama. I know it's not summer yet but the kids had a day off from school and the weather was beautiful so I packed up there bikes and them and headed to a local grade school. It took exactly ONE try and she had it! She was off and riding by herself goal #1 accomplished. My sister soon joined us with her two kids and I was hoping for some more practice out of Avery but no such luck. She had absolutely no interest in continuing to ride. Oh well......job well done.

Wow...those are great goals! I guess I need to set mine higher!! Mine was just to teach Myles to tie his own shoes since he has no interest in learning this what so ever. XOXO
