I DID IT! I filled my Happy Marble Jar up! Mommy started with all these blue marbles that I chose from the store in the Sad Marble Jar. It was my job to do nice things...happy things...to get the marbles from the sad jar to the happy jar. I would get marbles for helping set the table without Mommy or Daddy asking, or making my bed in the morning, or being nice to friends and family, or using nice words, or using a smiley face instead of a grumpy face....you know...all that kind of stuff. It was hard work, but I did it. Before I started doing all these good things, Mommy and Daddy sat down with me and explained all this stuff to me, and I got to pick a special prize when I filled the jar up. I picked a big girl bike. I have wanted one for a long time. It took me about a month to fill the jar....and look what I got last night!!!! I got to pick out my OWN BIG GIRL BIKE!!!!! (Reece, I am ready to go on the trails with you now!)
Here it is!!! Barbie pink and girly as you get. Daddy tried to convince me to get a bike that Reid could ride when he gets bigger, but I wanted this girl bike really badly. He caved in...and allowed me to get it! Thanks, Daddy!
Here I am racing down our driveway! Wow! This bike is fast! Good thing I have my astronaut helmet on. (that's what I call it all the time)
Learning to use the brakes. Tricky stuff for a 3 year old.
Whew...biking makes you thirsty. Thank goodness Mom bought juice boxes for me. More biking adventures to come soon!

too cute! What a great idea of the marble jar. I think I'll try that with Hannah, easier than stickers!
Congratulations Ellie!

WOW! What a great job Ellie!
Janeen and Brian, you are such great parents. I hope everything is going smoothly for you. Have a wonderful day!
Way to go, Ellie!!! I love your bike, and I am glad you are wearing a helmet when you ride it. Have lots of fun bike riding this summer. Just think, when Reid is old enough to ride, you will be a pro and can teach him.
