Bad Mom Syndrome

Sometimes you have to laugh at your own mistakes or you'll cry!

Yesterday, we took a bunch of the girls old clothes in to one of my favorite kids stores for store credit. They happened to have a little girl's bike there that was in very good shape so we swapped out the clothes for the bike.

(it has streamers and glitter....could life be better?!)

So, Andy worked last night.....I went and got a tryke from the garage for Livy and let the girls ride their "bikes" up and down our sidewalks. Emma was very excited but always needed a push to get started, and she'd barely continue to peddle after I'd let go. Hm.....

I figured she just needed practice and maybe her legs were a bit whimpy. :-) That's ok, she's a girl! So....We worked on it, for an hour! Maybe closer to 2. Same thing, could barely peddle, always needed a push. (sigh)

I finally got tired of pushing her and we went inside.

This morning, I had to move her bike to walk out the front door and for some reason, thought to feel the tires. Completely flat.

Completely.

Oh my goodness sakes. I pushed my daughter to peddle 2 flat tires last night for her first bike experience ever. No WONDER she couldn't peddle!!!!!!!!

Rats. Another reminder that I'm less than supermom, but at least I'm laughing!
