Last week Ally sat outside hiding from her friends because they were all riding their bikes around. She was hiding because she was embarrassed that she still had training wheels on her bike. We told her it's OK, she should just go ride it anyway. Notta, No Way, Ain't going to happen!!! She said that they would make fun of her. I assured her they wouldn't, but nothing was going to convince her otherwise. Chris took pity on her and took her to the church parking lot to practice riding her bike. He bent the training wheels way up, but she still wasn't ready to take them off. Then Monday evening (St. Patrick's Day), she was out practicing and she decided, or maybe Chris decided, that she should take those extra wheels off. Chris thought he was going to have to run with her for awhile. But, lo and behold, off go the wheels and off goes Ally!

Glimpses of Us!

I learned to ride on a little bike that an uncle had. Each time we visited him, I would practice. It was so small that it didn't require as much balance and strength to stay up. By the time I got my own bike, I was ready.
What freedom, just so much fun. We still roller skated around the block, around and around, it was great, but the bike let us expand the distances that we traveled.
Woo Hoo !!! Ally
Watch out Mom and Dad.. first training wheels ...then a learners permit
