Spring Is In The Air


The snow left as quickly as it came, and with it went the cold weather. Spring in Atlanta is great--warmer weather but no bugs yet! We spent many evenings in March packing picnics, riding our bikes to parks, and letting Elizabeth burn off her seemingly endless toddler energy.





We faced the challenge this year of helping her overcome her fear of the bike helmet. Unfortunately, last year we pinched her chin in the helmet buckle on what would be our last ride of the season, and she had been understandably terrified ever since. With much coaxing and patience, we finally got her comfortable with the helmet again--the deal that worked was that she got to snap the buckles on our helmets...talk about terrifying!
