Biker Girl

Now that all the snow is gone, we decided to pull out Chloe's bike! We took it for a test run last Sunday, but she just couldn't seem to get the hang of pedaling. After watching her practice on her friend Kaden's new bike during the week, We discovered the secret to teaching your preschooler how to ride a bike!! Water shoes!! When she was wearing runners, or rubber boots, she couldn't feel if her feet were in the right place. Because watershoes are so soft and flexible, she knew exactly where on her feet the pedals were and today, she took to biking like a duck to water!! After raising her seat a little, she was off!!
Here she comes!!!
Pedaling hard!
Beyond proud of herself!!
"I'm coming to get you Mommy!!"
Coming back from her very first bike ride with Daddy!!

We went out for ice cream treats to celebrate!! When we were getting into the truck she said that she had the best teacher ever because Daddy sure is good at riding his bike!!!!
