Two Wheeler (Retro Post)

I can't believe I forgot to post this!  Paige can now ride her bike.  I wish I could take credit for this amazing accomplishment in our family, but I can't.  Actually, I am quite proud that she (Paige) gets all the credit.  One night about a month ago we were playing outside and I said, "Hey do you want to get your bike out and practice riding?"  I even said it a little sarcastic because I was sure the answer would be, "No way mom!  I'm never riding a bike!"  That's the usual answer we get around here when it comes to bikes.  I had basically given up for the summer and decided to try again next year.  Anywho, her response was quite different.  "No Mom, I don't need your help I can do it myself."  Then she jumped on her bike and away she went!  I was totally shocked.  I believe I even teared up a bit and then I started jumping up and down and cheering.  Trevor came running from the back yard and we just stood there in amazement at our daughter.

I'm glad I thought to run in and get the camera.  It is a little hard to see because it is so dark.

Now Paige is an expert.  She loves to ride her bike and the feeling of freedom it gives her.  She is getting much faster the more her confidence grows.
