With much practice and preparation comes much reward...
Marie has been working soooooooo hard on learning how to ride her bike without training wheels.
She has been watching kids in the neighborhood ride with two wheels and then stylishly park their bike with a kickstand...wow, that kickstand.
Several times have come and gone where we take the training wheels off and give it a go.
But finally one morning she took off like she just finally made up her mind to ride.
She was so proud of herself....and immediately asked for a bike with a kickstand.
A trip to the bike store was on the agenda for a few days later. There, Marie and her Dad found this beauty waiting for her.
Now, you can find Marie on her bike riding around our cul-de-sac nearly all day long.
We have enjoyed a few longer bike rides around town and on the bike trail as a family.
When your older sister learns how to ride a big bike, it almost instantly lights a fire in a certain 3 year old boy.
He decided he was ready to move on from his tricycle and try a big boy bike as well.
We decided on this "Husker" balance bike with no pedals. It is supposed to be a good way to train kiddos to ride on a 2 wheel bike a bit more quickly.
So far Bennett is really enjoying it and progressing nicely.
We are proud of our little bikers and love the new family fun we are having!
