Learning to Ride

I am so very proud of the girls. This spring they decided it was time to take off the training wheels. Boy were they ever determined that they were going to ride a two-wheeler. So, off came the training wheels, and out came the determination. We started with mommy holding up the bike and practiced going back and forth in front of the house practicing keeping balance. They were so proud of themselves. Then it was them trying to see if they could hold up the bike and get started off on their own. NO HELP from mommy was wanted anymore. I was so proud of the girls for practicing and trying so hard. Last night we went into the church parking lot beside our house to practice some more. Before I could believe it both girls just took off on their bikes riding around in huge circles in the parking lot. There was lots of yelling and screaming and clapping on all of our parts- it was so exciting watching them take off on the bikes on their own. Mommy is very impressed!
