On New Years Eve, Vivian decided she wanted to learn to ride her bike without training wheels. I think since Joanna got a new bike, she wanted to make her bike more special.
After a little talk, she was ready to learn. At first, Daddy took the peddles off to make it like a balance bike so she could get a feel. Her legs were a tad short and was making it uncomfortable for her. I said, 'let's do it the old fashion way with me holding the bike then letting go."
She did great and would peddle by herself until she realized I wasn't holding her. She took one hard fall then wanted knee pads. Off to the store I went.
She was still hesitant to ride in the street so we took her to the backyard where she felt more comfortable. After getting a feel and riding long stretches, she was feeling more confident.
I ran to the store and when I got home, she was riding her bike! It was something amazing to see. What a huge milestone that is!
