No more training wheels!

Rachel was scared to learn to ride her bike. But I told her that there was such thing as the training wheel fairy and that if she learned to ride her bike with no training wheels she woulds bring her a goldfish...or money to go and pick out her own goldfish.



After much thought, Thursday July 31st at around 1:30 PM, Rachel decided to take her training wheels off! She had told Ms. Jenn outside that she wanted to take them off so Jenn came to my door and told me. So I took the tool out went and took her training wheels off. Well in reality I just had to take one off cause we had been using 1 training wheel for a few weeks.



After only one steadying push she took off down the street. And she didnt even fall down at all! I excpected her to fall at least once but she didnt! It seems thats the neighborhood trend cause all the kids do it that way LOL. Yes she wasnt wearing shoes or any protective gear for that matter but I also hadnt expected her to actually do it LOL.




She did such good job and we are so proud of her for having the guts to just get on and go :) She is growing up so quickly and I am just so happy that I was there to witness this! Even Daddy got to come out and watch casue he was home from work at the time :)




and a HUGE thank you to Jenn for taking the pictures since my camera decided to break on me
