She Rides!

Lily can officially ride a bike WITHOUT training wheels. It's kind of a big deal....

I'm more excited than I was when she learned to walk. Addy's kind of upset by the whole thing.

Lily was struggling to learn on the little 12 inch bike that she's had for a couple of years. We thought it would be easier b/c it's closer to the ground and she can just put her feet down when she wants to stop or thinks she may fall. Mom disagreed and thought it would be easier for her to ride on a big bike. I wasn't convinced enough to go buy a big 20 inch bike, so mom picked up a cheapy from Goodwill. As it turns out, the old lady was RIGHT! Lily picked it right up on the bigger bike - and getting off isn't that bad either. Barclay practiced with her last night and after work today. No prob Bob. AND, to top it off, she thinks the Goodwill bike is cool. So we'll stick with that for a while and then maybe she'll get a new one for her birthday :)
