Riding on 2 Wheels!

We had a gorgeous weekend a few back- (April 28, 2011- to be exact!)... and we decided to try and accomplish a goal we set for Spring- Get Jenna riding without training wheels!!

Day one- take off training wheels and ride along with Dad or Mom holding and running along side.

Taking off the training wheels! Excited to give it a go!!

Boy- this wasn't an easy day! She wasn't quite sure how to stay steady - and she kept leaning back and not using her upper body and arms at all. It was pretty funny! But exhausting running along side- and hard on our backs!!!


1st time taking off with out them!!

She was really sweet and made some drawings during break time. She showed me the picture and asked me if that was the way she was supposed to be?- I told her yes. Then she drew another one and asked again- so I said No. So one got the check of ok- the other the X. It was the cutest thing! She was so into it!

Her cute diagrams of proper bike riding. :)

That night she told me that the next day she didn't want me or Scott to help her. She wanted to do it all on her own.

Day 2: A couple of helps from Dad- and then off she went!!


Day 2- getting going and doing it!! Go Jenna!

She did it! Here determination rang true! And she did it! We are so proud!! And since- she is doing it with ease!

Phew! It's hard work!! But loving it!!

That's our girl!! XOXO



Our first time riding on the Prairie Path- she's a pro now!!
