At the very old age of 3 years and 11 months, Lucy road her bike without training wheels this week for the first time! What a big kid! She is doing so totally awesome!
She REALLY wants a new disney princess bike and has been kinda talking about it alot. Simon and I talked and decided we weren't going to get her one until the summer once she has been riding her bike a little more frequently. So since she wouldn't stop talking about it we told her that maybe we were going to wait until she could ride without training wheels. Seeing as we never really tried to do that and her balance is not necessarily her strong suit we thought we had a good few months.
Monday while Ruthie was at school and it was beautiful she brings up the bike again and she gets the same response from me..... "Well, Lucy how about we get you a brand new big kid bike when you ride without training wheels." She looks at me and at Ruthie's old Dora bike we brought out for one of Ruthie's friend last week and says "Well then lets go!"
She started just going down our driveway balancing, without pedaling then after a few runs of that she started pedaling! Then she was off. The first day was rather comical as she couldn't turn very well so she would end up running into all the snow banks on the side of the road but that girl was determined!
She was soooo funny, she said "When daddy gets home and watches me he is going to cry!"
Now that she has a few days under her belt she is starting and stopping all on her own and turning too! Ruthie has been working with her because she feels like if you are on your bike you need to ride as fast as possible, yet Lucy is a little more cautious!
