No More Training Wheels

Emi got her first bike for her birthday in April. She loves riding her bike, but putting the bike away was another story. She made sure to park it right behind a car one day, needless to say- no more cute little pink bike. While she was bikeless, she didn't know what to do - she and Sydney's favorite summer pastime is going over to Maddie and Lily's house to ride bikes, Syney and Maddie felt bad for her, so they started helping her ride Lily's other bike that did not have training wheels on it. She figured it out pretty quick. When we finally bought her a new bike she begged Brody to take the training wheels off, we didn't believe she could really ride without them, especially since our other kids were about 10 when they got their training wheels off. So it was a tough sell, especially if you know how well Brody loves putting together/taking apart anything. Once she finally convinced him to take them off, it took a few tries and she was riding her bike all by herself YAY!! It took me until fall to finally get a picture, once I new it was my very last opportunity and the road would soon be covered with ice - you know me - the procrastinator - I finally got my picture!!
