Heidi and Pearson each got scooters for their birthdays...
...a difficult reality when you are five and it's not your birthday too- a birthday and Christmas five far months away.
We tried to find a scooter at a garage sale for Kyla to no avail. Even then we had decided to make her earn it. We came up with a "Scooter Chart" that included chores, acts of bravery, and tests of determination and concentration. :)
The chart took about two weeks to complete. The final test: "Dad's Special Shoe Test." A test that included six pairs of shoes and no help. It was intense and completion and passing required 100%.
It wasn't easy and took a few tries. The girls got to stay up late in anticipation of dad's return home one night for a shoe test re-take. (FULL SISTER SUPPORT) And when six out of six happened this is what it looked like...
Now they are the scooter girls together and loving the Summer of the Scooter.

Super cute. My girls have been scooter crazed this summer too until a friend was over 2 weeks ago and BROKE HER LEG on one of our scooters. I can't even look at them now without tearing up. I don't know if we will ever be the same with them:-(
