My sister told Morgan she would help her learn to ride her bike on 2 wheels the weekend we were back home for Father's Day. Ashley was just about finished loading her car to leave when Morgan reminded her of her promise. My mom quickly got the training wheels off and they headed out to Ashley's basketball court. Let me just say that I had been avoiding this task as I just assumed this would be 1 more way for Crash to hurt herself. Surprisingly, she figured out how to ride in probably less than 5 minutes! It did take her a little more time to figure out how to use the brakes instead of her feet though!
I don't know if there is any volume in these videos or not. If not, let me give you an idea of what is going on in the background. Shelby has a little bit of a jealousy problem when Morgan receives too much attention. So while she is shooting baskets, she is feeling sorry for herself. If you can hear my mom who was standing behind me she is telling Shelby to "just go eat worms" after she said, "no body likes me". It was pretty funny.
a little blurry but she looks like she's having fun!
After Ashley left, my mom and I took the girls into town to ride bikes on the trail. This way she could ride on a straight path instead of in circles around the court. It didn't take long and she was going as fast as she did when she had 4 wheels! As fast as she can go....
The days we were there, it had rained overnight. The trail had some mud puddles along the way. There was one that Morgan did not successfully make it through.
she wasn't hurt but mad that she got her new shirt full of mud
Morgan wouldn't look up for a picture with her bike
big sis didn't have a problem rubbing it in
found some water to clean up a bit
finally able to smile about it
I will say I was impressed that she had it down so quickly. But if you watch her ride, you will understand my concern. She rides a bike just like she walks - heading one direction and looking in the other!
