von Niederhausern Family

Ava has been working on earning money for a bike for about six months. Steve and I were definitely playing it by ear on this first money earning experience, so she ended up earning eight dollars by doing different chores and setting goals with these reading lessons we are working on. Yesterday she turned in her hard earned cash for a set of wheels! Once she set her eyes on this princess bike there was no going back. She said she loved the tassles and of course the backpack and the waterbottle that came in the backpack. She practiced riding yesterday when we got home. She had a few minor spills but said “I won’t give up, I’ll keep trying.” 

Love at first sight.

Steve let her ride it to the check-out counter and then to the car. It was pretty hilarious.

Here’s Lauren dreaming of the day she can turn in her trike for a big set of wheels like Ava’s.
