This past week, La mastered bike riding without training wheels. WOO HOOOOOO! And by "mastered," I mean she finally rode more than 20 feet without falling over. I tell ya, it's something to celebrate.
I know many children ride two-wheelers at much younger ages than seven. I remember a three-year-old kid down the street when I was growing up who had one of those little 12-inch bikes with no training wheels. He would zoom down to our house, his legs spinning so quickly that you couldn't even make out his feet. That crazy little maniac would come barreling down the sidewalk, whip around the corner in front of our house, and turn around in our slanted driveway to gain even more momentum for the ride home.
That ain't my La, no sir.
But I still think it's a big deal that she rides her big ol' 20-inch bike with no training wheels. Check out those mad skills.
Last night she informed us that she really wants a skate board. I'm thinking she'll be coordinated enough to ride it when she's about nineteen.

Do you remember last year when C learned how to ride his 2-wheeler? Yeah, well, he's totally reverted back and won't do it this year. He'll go about 10 feet, then fall over. Grrrr. We're back to square one. I do know a ton of kids who rode bikes early -- like H. And others who were older. La is doing an awesome job.
Way to go Ella!
Way to GO La!!! Grandma is soooo proud of you. I just new you could do it. Nice thing about learning to ride a bike is that you never forget how to do it!!
