Munchkin's Accomplishments

This year we put Munchkin in soccer, as you know...this year she has also made it a goal to learn to ride her bike without training wheels, to lose a tooth, and more!

Well, we are quite proud to say that she's accomplished much in all three areas! At her soccer game yesterday, she scored her first goal!!! We were so proud of her. She's gotten braver about getting in the mix and kicking the ball. She blocked a couple of goal attempts by the other team, and she's been a really good sport too. She tripped over a team members foot, and instantly apologized, when all the other kids were pushing each other when something like that happened. So we're glad she's nice too:-)



Last Tuesday, immediately upon returning from her field trip to the zoo, she lost her first tooth. She'd been looking forward to this so much, yet her reaction was to hold her tummy like she was sick and say, "This is really freaky."

Then today, out of nowhere it seemed, she decided to try again to ride her bike with the training wheels ON, but to try and not let the training wheels actually touch the ground. She succeeded, so we took them off, and she's been doing great since!



Congrats, my dear. You're one accomplished young woman!

I can't believe she is riding a bike!!! That is so awesome!!! Rylan was really freaked out when he lost his first tooth too. He wanted to lose one to bad and then it happened and just cried!

Anyway, tell Akaila that is so awesome about learning to ride her bike and scoring a goal! I think I was 7 before I finally learned to ride my bike...:)
