The training wheels are off!!!


Abby has learned to ride her bike without training wheels. She wasn't able to do it until we promised her an ice cream cone and what do you know...Surprise...Surprise...she did it! I have been working with Eli too, but he is so heavy that I am having a hard time helping him balance. When I try to straighten him up he just pulls me over with him. At least he takes the spills pretty good.

Congratulations Abby!!! I still remember when I could ride a bike all by myself. It was a wonderful time of life. I felt very grown up.
I remember the fun of teaching children to ride on their own. Some of them came by it naturally and others struggled. I bet that Eli catches on not too far down the road.

OOps I probably did this twice.

Congrats to Abby!! YAY! What a milestone! How fun! We wish Justin were somewhat close to getting his off...we're pretty sure he'll have his on til he's 18!:)

Way to go Abby! I wish we could be closer to see you ride. We can watch you ride when we visit this summer.
