Scootering

Kari has invented a new word. And I, being her mother, feel that it is my best interest, and hers, to let her keep using that word. One, because it pretty accurately describes what she is doing. And two, and probably more importantly, it is cute. Kari likes to go "scootering". She has found the perfect scooter run: the front porch. I am not adverse to this discovery because it allows me to sit inside, on the couch, on my bum, while my children are outside running themselves ragged... However, occasionally I drag myself outside to commune with nature, to watch the little goofballs, and to take some pictures.

All decked out: helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, boots, coat.

Kaitlyn goes outside to "skippy" (again, a made up word, but see afore mentioned reasons for the lack of correction) when Kari goes to scooter. Wherever big sister goes, little sister goes. Just without the wheels.

Getting ready for another run. They line up at the bottom and take turns.

Me first!

My turn. She's getting bet-tah :)

Sometimes I let them adjourn to the drive way. They must stop at the line, however, so they don't go out into the street. And they are supposed to stop before they hit the van... Sometimes that happens. I love how Kaitlyn just puts her head down and goes for it.

Or she does this. Either way, she is entertaining to watch.
