The big milestone

So not only did Sissy learn how to ride a four-wheeler over Spring Break (see previous post) she also learned how to ride her bike without training wheels! Wow - this was huge. We had practiced a few times before last summer, but after about two crash-n-burns she was done. So we gave it another try and now she can do it. I'm so proud of her. It only goes with her perfectionist personality though. I knew after a couple rotation of the pedals by herself she wasn't going to stop until she got it!

Then the cutest part of all happened after the first day of trying (the day before Easter) she came in the house and made a calendar of all the days she was going to practice. She had check marks and stars on each day. She told me that the check marks meant she had to practice and the stars meant she already practice.






That's my girl...you got to have this kind of stuff organized! LOL!













*I've been trying to upload two videos of Sissy riding her bike and it's failing. I give er' a try tomorrow...

What an accomplishment! My two middle children learned how to ride their bikes last year right before we moved into this house...and low and behold, all of the neighborhood kids ride their bikes in our cul-de-sac all the time. If they had not learned, they would have been left out of all the fun...'cause none of the other kids have training wheels. :o) How mortifying would that have been? LOL
