No Training Wheels

HOORAY MELODY!

Melody has learned in one day how to ride her bike with no training wheels! Daddy took the training wheels off a couple weeks ago, and since then Melody has decided to stick to riding the scooter, because she was too afraid to try her bike for fear that she might fall off and get hurt. She even asked Mark to put her training wheels back on, to which he answered " I told you that once the training wheels came off, they would stay off." Well, today, Mark took the girls down the road to ride bikes on the pavement instead of our dirt driveway. Melody decided that she wanted to have daddy help her learn to ride her bike. Well, he only had to balance her and run along side of her for about 15 seconds, he let go, and she was off! YEAH Melody!! She was so proud of herself. She came right home to show me, and of course I was so happy for her. She is already riding like a pro!!

  2. What a great accomplishment for that 5 year old! And what a good Daddy to help her...kind of like life--you run alongside them till their ready and then you have to let go, just hoping their falls won't hurt too much. Way to go, Melody!!!
