Write it down!

Yesterday afternoon Lyla started riding her bike without training wheels!!! I couldn't get a picture because I was running along side of her the whole time though. I wanted to go ahead and post it though so I don't forget the date. She will be 3 and a half on the 17th of this month!

She rides Grace's old bike that she got on her 2 year old birthday. The training wheels are shot and barely hold her up. When she was riding it she was sitting at a 30 degree angle! If the bike was sitting straight up the training wheels didn't touch the ground. Only one wheel would touch at a time. Does that make sense? Well, on Thursday I noticed that while she was riding, the training wheels weren't touching at all about half of the time! That meant she was balancing!

So, Friday afternoon I took them off and we gave it a try. She got it right away. I still have to help her start and stop and she gets scared every now and then and starts to wobble. But she's doing it! She'll be taking off and stopping by herself in a week I bet.

I'll get some pictures then!
