I was gone last Friday night and I got a text that said Taylor was riding her bike on 2 wheels.
WHAT!?!? We hadn't even talked about trying this. And WHY in the world is this happening when I'm gone. Doesn't he know that a mom has to be present for these kinds of things, to be the cheerleader, picture taker and video recorder??
Who knew that in one evening she'd have it down nearly perfect.
So guess what the first thing we did the next morning was?
Bike riding in pajamas. She was so excited to show me what she could do. And I was completely shocked that she could get going, turn, and stop all on her own.
She hasn't tried it on her bigger bike yet, just this little one. We figured we'd let her get really good first, and plus, it's a lot shorter of a distance to the ground on this one, if she falls.
Mason is talking about wanting to try. So who knows, we may have two 2-wheel riders at our house very soon! That's what happens with kids just 16 months apart, sometimes they just learn new things and go through new transitions at the same time. It's hard enough to believe I have one child big enough to ride on 2 wheels, let alone, all of a sudden 2!

amy AND anna started riding without training wheels while i was in china last summer! seriously!? daddy videotaped it on his phone, but no still pictures were had :(
hoping i don't miss the last one!
Josh was a little shy to try - afraid of falling. But when his little sister was wanting to do it, he took it upon himself to make sure he would learn first. They learned maybe a week apart.
That's crazy! I can't believe she caught on so quickly! We haven't even told Ellie you can do it on 2 wheels yet :) Way to go Taylor!
Awesome!!!
