For over a year now, Evelyn has been riding this small tricylcle. Recently Christian has taken it over and going on walks now has been a battle between who will ride the bike.

It was also perfect timing because when we moved into our apt complex we now live next to all of Evelyn's friends who ride bikes around the apt complex. She could never keep up on her tricycle so we decided it was time.

Since I'm kind of a mean mom, I didn't just want to go buy it for her but hopefully have her "earn" it. So everytime Evelyn was caught obeying or doing something good, she got to put a bead in a jar. If she wasn't obeying then a bead would come out. At first it was taking her awhile to keep beads in her jar but she soon caught on and finally had 20 beads in her jar within a week.

This girl could not be more proud and I swear the moment she got on her bike she looked way too grown up
