No Training Wheels!!

Kate learned how to ride her bike Friday, July 22. It is so darn adorable I can hardly stand it. (And just fair warning: If you don't want to hear me brag, probably should stop reading now--I'm a proud parent!!)

Anyway, we tried a couple of months ago, and she wasn't even close. We got our Strider balance bikes (I may post about these soon) and after a couple of weeks of having them, we tried again. Kate rode on her first try about 100 feet!! (and since I'm prone to exaggerate, maybe 50). I just started laughing my head off. She's been all over the place ever since. It's been so fun! Bikes are everyone's play thing of choice right now, we've been loving it!

Awesome job Katie Girl! Teagan is really hoping that he gets to ride bikes with you this weekend!

That makes me think she is a lot older than I would have otherwise calculated! Where does the time go? Don't worry, you can brag, it's a big step :)

Barely four years old and riding without training wheels! Impressive! Tyler was the exact same age when he learned, and I think I have made a brag post about him, too. That's so great! That takes great coordination. Way to go, Kate!
