t h e m a y f i l e s is foremost a family blog, chronicling everyday life. Life including natural, healthy eating (with recipes thrown in at random), home educating (with ideas popping up sporadically), an attempt to homestead on .2 acres (with very meager yields), raising 3 of 4 children with a rare genetic disorder, and lots of highly personal family triumphs and failures. You may also find an eclectic array of musings on politics, exercise, sewing, emergency preparedness, backyard chickens, and religion. This blog isn't a campaign to glorify anyone or anything. Just simply a record.

Riding on 2 Wheels!

The following scenario has played out at about 3 month intervals for the past 18 months.

Ellery: Dad, pleeeease take off my training wheels. I can ride a 2 wheeler. I really can Dad. I'm not scared.
Brent: Okay Ellery.

The training wheels are then removed. Followed by a 30 second attempt. Five minutes of tears. Ten minutes of pleading for the training wheels to be put back on. On they go. And 3 months later we repeat it all again.

I greeted this latest request today with great skepticism and dismissal. Within 2 minutes of leaving the garage I was summoned and this is what I saw...



We can now proudly announce: Ellery is riding a two-wheeler. She has joined the ranks of the big kids. Too bad it is going to snow all next week.
Way to go Ellery!
