The youngling learned to ride her bike Saturday. She is just one step closer to independence. Yikes. Most kids her age can already ride, but she's been a bit reluctant. It's hard work and she gets frustrated when she has to work. Besides, she was scared of falling a lot.
After some firm negotiations, we took the bike and the dog to the park so she could practice car-free in the parking lot. She jumped right on and took off. It was great. Yesterday we went on a bike ride with our friends (adults and kids). We went a bit far (5 miles I think) but it was fun. She did have one good spill, running down a hill, that led quite the dramatic display. She comes by that naturally and I don't fault her for it. She was flying down that hill, took a nasty spill and hurt her ankle, but she is okay.
