2 Wheels!!!

We have a big milestone, here!! We took the training wheels off of Taite's bike this weekend. She tried her first time Sat. night & we never really let go of her. Sun. afternoon, Lewis was going with her, let go & she went! We're still working on stopping! That may be harder than riding.

We've learned one thing....this is definitely another parenting "event" that really makes us appreciate our own parents. Running along side of a wobbly bike is HARD work. It's also hard to run along side, bent over, holding on to the back of a bicycle seat! Lewis & I had to take turns. Obviously, we're out of shape. I think we may try "relay" bike riding in our future attempts! :)

She rode again Monday after school & did great, again. She's going about 3 or 4 house lengths, so I think that's a good start. Her goal is to ride her bike in the 4th of July parade! I think she can do it! Practice, practice, practice!

**A Little Update: On day #4, she rode around the block 4 times without us holding on! :) We had to run beside her. Thankfully, I only had to do one lap (after which, I thought I was going to pass out!). Lewis is a better jogger than me! She's doing great. What fun!!!

Here's a video of her first ride without us holding on....
