Maddie learns to ride a big girl bike!






Well at the end of the school year I knew Maddie was ready to take off her training wheels and she did AWESOME the first day then the next day she decided she wasnt so into it. Well we tried on and off the last month or so but she was giving up pretty quick but then yesterday she said she was ready and wanted to do it herself. I went out with her but same ol story, she gave up pretty quick. So she wanted to do it again today and well she was off and no stopping her. One of her big plans was to ride to Silas' house so after some practice we did. Rich ran next to her and I rode my bike with the trailer just in case and Kaden rode his skate board thingy along with us and off to the Zims we went. We couldnt believe how well she did and now there is no stopping her. Right before bed she asked to go just one more time! Well lets just wait for tomorrow girlie! GOOD JOB! We are so so proud!!

I just asked Zims to teach my 5 year old. But you guys could do it too. He won't even get on a bike!!

Way to go, Maddie! You might even give Kinley the itch to try it now. Madison is the neigborhood inspiration! :) What a great high note after more of the waiting game on the other end. Thank goodness your other two kids are good distractions from the waiting game!

Yeah Maddie! That is so exciting and scary!!! Doesn't she seem to tiny to ride a two-wheeler?
