Now we're rollin!!!!

Bibby,

I could not believe my eyes....today, you were waiting for Mer-Mer to come visit out in the driveway and I thought Daddy was doing yardwork, when I heard Mer pull in I ran out to meet her and could not believe my eyes; you were riding your bike...without training wheels!!!! We took them off a long time ago and have given it a shot every now and then but you have not been excited about it at all. Something just clicked today and you just got it. We loaded up in the back of the truck and went to Eastwood's parking lot...where I learned to ride to give you more space. Dad walked around right beside you the first few laps then your friend Hampton came by on his bike and you two took off together. He was so sweet trying to teach you how to get started on your own and by the end of the afternoon you had it down. You were so proud....and so were we. This has been the year that you have changed more than any other in your life. Started kindergarten, lost a tooth, learned to tie your shoe, learned to read, first spend the night out, starting soccer, won the science fair, school play....now riding a bike! I love watching you work at things and succeed. Virginia, you were really encouraging to her and had the best time "scootering" around behind her. You looooveee to scooter and sing while you do the sweetest--and funniest made up songs. I will blink and you will be peddling around yourself.

Holy Cow...my child is a scientist!!!!

Bibby,
You had to do a poster for this years science fair. Honestly, I thought it was a bit ridiculous that in kindergarten they were mandatory and included a hypothesis. Well, when we were pondering our topic, "Weather: friend or foe" your dad came up with the best idea to do a project involving....duck migration....what else considering hunting season was just coming to an end. The best is when he thought of the idea he said, "Bibby, do you want to win?" I don't think we ever thought that you would really pull it out....but you WON!!!! You were so excited when you got in the car to tell me they announced your name over the intercom and you had one FIRST PLACE!!!! It was perfect because you had really poured it on thick with the whining not wanting to finish the poster once you had started writing it all your self but you did...and it paid off. I then got a call from the office saying you had one THIRD in the Morgan County Science Fair. Your dad and I could not have been more proud. You were so gracious when you won and were so upset that Abby had not won because you were standing beside her when they announced the winners. Sweet Abby told you congratulations and you went and found Mrs. Hand and told her that Abby deserved a chip for tell you congrats. You have the sweetest class in the world....I honestly would have no issue whatsoever if you continued on with this same class until you graduated.
