Woohoo! Lila can ride a 2-wheeler with no training wheels!
Monday was a beautiful Columbus Day. We took advantage of everyone being off and worked on the daunting task of bicycle training. Lila has tried and almost learned this skill several times, but her wonderful Daddy likes to follow her lead on skill readiness. Not me! "Lila, today is the day you will learn to ride your bike." The first lap around the block was a little rough (understatement!) - for both of us. She could do it, but kept stopping every 20 feet. The fact that she learned how to stop herself was good, but she was too nervous to just keep going and tearful the whole way. We took a juice box break and she thought she was done for the day - no way. Ryan and I both went with her the next time, and she did great! Having Daddy there was just the security she needed. She was so proud of herself and happy.
Here's the proof! Listen to her scream of terror/glee at the end. :)
..a little nervous...

..more confident...
