Learning to ride a bike!

September 2015

Kay has been dying to learn to ride a bike without training wheels for probably about a year now. We have tried working with her here and there but with all of the other kids and our busy schedules, we haven't been able to spend a lot of time with her. The neighbor has even helped her out some but she has had a fear deep down that I think has been affecting her! Finally in September it looked like she was finally starting to get the hang of it a little bit - but she still wasn't confident enough to do it on her own. Then one day MJ hopped on one of the bikes and DH and I helped her a little and without much effort at all she was almost doing it on her own. MJ only problem has been learning how to steer and being aware of where she is and where she is going. Shortly after that Kay finally picked it up as well so now all of the kids can ride a bike! It is kind of weird how effortless it was for MJ and she is definitely the youngest in our family to have learned to ride a bike! It is interesting watching how everyone learns differently and some things come easy to some and not so easy to others. I think Kay was a little jealous that MJ learned to ride so quickly. She was so happy when she finally learned for herself!

This is MJ riding down the street - it is nice to live on a cul-de-sac! These pictures of MJ were taken on Sept 9.

Look at that determination on her face!

She's got it!

Kay is finally doing it! (Sept 28)
