Biker Chick

This week I made a concerted effort to try to teach Bella how to ride her bike without the training wheels. Since we live on a hill it can be a logistical issue, so I threw the bikes in the back of the van and vowed to ride 5-10 minutes each day. Well, yesterday she was afraid of riding "with ONLY two wheels!" By today, she was an ole' pro. It was so much fun to teach her and to actually see her ride off on her own. She only needs us to "give her power"...just that little push at first. I am amazed at how quick she picked it up (about 10 minutes) and I am a little upset that I didn't capture it on film. But, then that might have been hard since I was carrying Jake in the baby carrier and helping Bella ride...and keeping Alaina out of a crash collision course. Well, it was an exciting day, nevertheless! I'll take some pics next time
