No more training wheels

For family night the other night, we decided to give Kelsey some more practice on her bike and it looks like she's got it down. She couldn't be more pleased with herself, and rightly so. After her practice session the week before, which I purposely DID NOT post, our neighbors probably thought that we are the meanest parents in the world, but it paid off and she can do it by herself now. Her legs are still a little short for the seat but she'll have that down in a few days just as long as we can get through this windy spell we're having right now.

Kelsey can officially ride without training wheels. Dave came out on his bike and they played follow the leader for about a half an hour before it was finally time to come inside for dinner. We love the spring weather that lasts for about a month here, but we're definitely taking advantage of it this year.

As for Katelyn, well she's learned to pedal all by herself and couldn't be more proud of herself either. Not to mention the new found freedom that she has. It was almost getting too dark for cars to see her and when I was helping Kelsey put her bike away, she'd made it to the end of the street and called back, "Come back now?" She has built so much confidence in herself and can really "cruise" on her bike now. If we take our eyes off her for more than a second, she's gone!!
