All excuses aside. This was the week my daughter would finally be taught how to ride a bike! I knew she was ready and the process took about 20 minutes. Interestingly enough, she did best when Evan and I weren't watching. (or she didn't think we were, at least!) I knew she was ready and that she could do it, I just needed to find away to make her BELIEVE! I was pleased with the results! Wow, my little post September 11th baby has sure come a long way! She's growing up fast!
Then my garage saleing talent this week yielded some wonderful finds: the most important to Wesley being a brand new Trek bike trailer that attaches to Evan's bike. He was giddy with excitement as we got it installed! He was so thrilled to do our 3 road loop over and over again. Daddy got quite a workout and Wesley had an eternal smile! Pure joy!
Yay for bikes! I can't wait until we find a way to get me and Luke in on the action! The infant seat we have doesn't fit any of our bikes. We'll figure something out. Until then, Ride ON!

Congratulations, Sophia! That's quite good for a not-quite-seven-year-old. (You could raise her seat a little bit.)
Have you been talking to Evan, D? We had a heated argument about this very thing. He wants it up, but I know from my experience that when you don't feel the security of being able to touch the ground with your feet easily, it's too daunting and so I won and lowered the seat and that's when she finally took off on her own. She won't let me raise it now, but I might gradually do it every so often when she's not looking. Sneaky mom!
