Remember when you learned how to ride a bike and you rode it all over the neighborhood. Boy, how times have changed! Emily and Matt have their own area to ride and it is our back patio. Granted we take them out on the open "road" (the sidewalk) but we always know they are safe on the patio. It is amazing how much they have progressed in their riding. We got Emily this bike for her 5th birthday and it pretty much sat all year because she didn't like how "wobbly" it was. This spring her little friend came over and rode it in front of Emily once and that was it...Emily hasn't stopped riding since. She loves racing around in circles and pretty much gets out to ride every day. We got Matt his bike for his third birthday and I think it took him about a month before he mastered riding. It is amazing how different the two kids are in accomplishing tasks. The other day Emily told us she wanted her training wheels off...it rained for 2 days and by the time we got back to the bike she changed her mind. Although today while riding in the car, she noticed a child with no training wheels and told me about it. I think she is considering it...if not this year, next year. We are just glad she is riding and Matthew right beside her. Ride like the wind kids!!
