We succumbed to the beautiful spring weather and decided to give Elodie her birthday present a month early, as she was spending a lot of time intently watching Isabelle glide around on her balance bike – a birthday present from two years ago. We figured we’d try and harness this perfect storm of intense interest and nice weather and see if Elodie would really take to the balance bike (unlike Isabelle when she got hers). It seemed to go well, and time will tell if Elodie’s drive to do whatever her sister is doing will win out. Of course, the ground is now covered in snow again, so we may have to wait a bit.

Note: An update seems to have taken the navigation arrows off the pictures, but the arrow keys on your keyboard should work just fine.
