Pedal Faster

Finally we had some warm weather- 60 degrees! I hear it won't last long, but we did all we could today to enjoy it. We pulled in the driveway after a birthday party today, and our neighbors were playing outside. We didn't even go in to set our bags down. It wasn't a few minutes later, Punky was asking to try out riding her big girl bike without training wheels. Derek ran behind her a few times, then I did for a bit. And then we let go... And she pedaled... And off she went.









She kept going and kept going for a few hours today. After some practice, she learned how to make turns and how to get herself going without our help. She still has not figured out how to stop fast or how to avoid people (Buddy got the short end of that stick a few times). She was so good at encouraging her friend who learned to ride last summer but was a little scared this year. "Just believe in yourself" "I know you can do it" Thanks, Frozen.



And just so I don't leave Buddy out, here's what he was up to.
