Makin’ Money
Down economy? Not for this kid!
The 2nd tooth came loose and popped out.
It went under the pillow that very night.
Netted her $5. Yeah, the last one was $10 but the first is special I heard. Syd was talking to Nana and Nana asked, “Now that you have 10+5, that’s 15 — what will you spend it on?” Sydney was quick to point out that $10 was long gone. She hit the Disney Store last week and took care of that. Not sure where the $5 will be spent but surely it will happen soon.

Bike Trail
Mom was sick today so I took Sydney and Reagan for a bike ride. Reagan was in the bike trailer but Sydney was sporting her new skills on the bike trail. This was a big change from normal street riding because you have to navigate sharp turns, fast hills, and other bikers! We ended up at Golden Ponds where the kids took out their journals and recorded what they saw.
On the way back, Sydney got excited and was going fast over this bridge that ends in a T-turn. Oops. Suddenly, she nailed the bike trailer and went down. Crying started. I got her right back on as soon as I could with the lure of McDonalds ice cream just down the street.

Round And Round
I finally made Sydney learn to make 180 degree turns in the street. So now I can sit on the driveway as she goes down the street turns and comes back. Repeat. That is much better than riding around the block 100 times a night.
However, tonight I finally got Kim out there to take a ride. Figured they would just go around the block but they took the long way around and Sydney had to show her all the cool stuff she can do — from riding over speed bumps to tackling the dirt trail!
Welcome Back
Grandma and Grandpa Coburn hadn’t visited in a while so Sydney took every opportunity to show them all her stuff and skills. “Watch this” — if I hear that one more time!
Of course, no Colorado trip is complete with a mountain adventure. So Sydney took Grandpa on short hike while showing him all the cool rocks that she could climb on. The entire time was stressful to Grandpa as he kept telling Sydney to be careful and followed her along. We were actually more worried about him falling than her!

Tooth Issue
Syd’s teeth are coming in faster than they fall out. Look at this sucker. Just popping up behind in the 2nd row. I told her sharks have 2 or more rows of teeth. And she is a good swimmer. Transformation?
