And She Rides!

Earlier this spring Shelby figured out how to pump her legs to make the swing go. One child challenge mastered, what would be next? Well she decided it would be bike riding! A few weeks ago while I was at Bible Study and Nate was in charge, Shelby decided she no longer wanted the training wheels on her bike. So she got down the tool box and tried every tool until she found the one that worked and took the training wheels off. Since her bike sits so low to the ground, we didn't really have to walk along with her. If she felt like she was falling all she had to do was put her feet down. She had practiced a few times. She has pretty good balance but she had a hard time keeping the wheels straight and she would head right into the grass. Sunday night after we came back from a walk, she got on the bike and basically took off! She is still a little shaky but I think she has it down. Here is a little video.
