Bicycle

Wednesday, July 17, 2013

This spring, Becky surprised us with a video of Leyton riding with no training wheels.  Well, guess what Lauren wanted to do immediately?  Ride with no training wheels.  I was not looking forward to taking them off and having to help her every time she wanted to ride bike.  But to my surprise, she was riding in just a few days.  Here she is with her new princess bike.  It took some time learning how to turn gradually, but not so gradual that you end up in the ditch.  She does have one battle wound on her upper leg where the handle bar pinched her as she went down.  And she did land down in the ditch several times.  I was always amazed how long she would stay on before she would jump off!  It was a bit terrifying to watch.  And as a bad mom, I made her take her helmet off for these pics:)  We always wear our helmets on the road.
