Exciting Fall Weekend!

Eleanor asked Daddy to take off her training wheels and within a half hour she was riding all by herself!?!!! She had positive peer pressure as 4 other children (1 older girl and 3 younger boys than her!) on our street recently took theirs off too. We are all SO impressed and attribute part of it to riding her scooter to learn balance as it has been her ride of choice as of late. Until now... Oscar being a "motorcycle guy!"
(note Eleanor pedaling solo in the background)
She had fun jumping in the leaves with our neighbor Riley.
AND, the other exciting news this weeknd is that Eleanor lost her tooth at school on Friday!
She pulled it out while watching in the mirror after lunch (I accidentally gave her a whole Granny Smith apple, honest!) The Tooth Fairy came and spoiled her, along with leaving sparkly fairy dust everywhere! We also had friends up visiting from Norfolk, so she was having a sleepover to boot! They were thrilled to wake up and she that she had come.
My brave big five year old!
I love you Eleanor Ann!

What a big girl!!! ...and talk about determined! What a quick learner! I cannot believe how much Eleanor and Oscar have grown. It seems like it was just yesterday Eleanor was just a little girl and Oscar was a newborn baby. They sure do grow up fast! :) Hoping you are all doing well and enjoying Northern Va. We'll be in Fredericksburg this w/e for a wedding... they are calling for snow!!! Are you supposed to get any?
