No training wheels!!

We are so excited, Sophie has learned to ride her bike without training wheels. Since we waited so long to really try this it came so easy for her. This is how things go in our house. Tiler learned to throw a ball early, ride a bike early and rollerblade early. Sophie learned to talk early, read early, write early. So, sometimes the coordination stuff comes a little slower for Sophie so we had not pushed taking the training wheels off to hard. Plus, when she falls doing something-NOT GOOD!

This morning she decided to ride her bike and I thought, these things really need to come off she is a little big to be riding around the neighborhood with training wheels. She got the wrench and removed them with me and we took off. She took to it immediately and it only took a couple of tries and she was turning around, riding around the block, and not falling!!!! She is so proud of herself too-there is nothing like the joy in your child's face when they accomplish something they thought they could not do.
