We have a training wheel biker!

 

So up to this day Ashley has only wanted to ride the Dora big wheel trike outside. She had spent some time this past week riding her strawberry shortcake training wheel bike in the garage but has never wanted to ride it outside. Until today....

It is amazing how positive attention towards one child can make another one work harder. Within minutes of Anna starting to learn how to ride a 2 wheeler, Ashley was out their with her Strawberry Shortcake bike wanting to know how to ride it.

And she did great. Great until we notice her jumping off the bike to get it to stop; which resulted in a minor knee injury. The poor thing never learned how to brake!!!

So Daddy went to work with Ashley and in no time she was a braking, training wheel biker! She was so serious, patient, kind and hard working with Daddy. And she loved it. She told me, "I never want to ride any bike BUT this one!!!"

Way to go Ash Ash!

PS Ashley was super excited to show our neighbor that she was no longer on the Dora bike and on a fast big bike like them! So cute :)

 She attempted the glider bike and decided she wasn't quite ready for that yet :)

 Went back to the Dora trike after a back spill....

 But in no time she was back on the bike!!! And smiling a HUGE Ash Ash smile :)
