Professional Bike Rider

Taylee got her big girl bike today. We dressed her in long pants and a long sleeve shirt. We made sure that she had on her knee pads, elbow pads, and helmet. We also gave her a pep talk about always getting back on the bike even if she got hurt and to never give up.
We put her on the bike. Sean started pushing her. I pulled out the bandaids. Sean let go. And off she went. Without ever falling.
I always thought that it was part of taking off the training wheels to have a few falls and bumps and bruises. Guess not. Taylee has been zooming around the neighborhood all afternoon. Crazy girl :-)



Sean's safety check! Haha!

Two thoughts about this picture that make me laugh...first of all S. Kress is driving that bike and the look on your neighbors face across the street is hilarious!

#2) Good to see S. Kress doing some light jogging after that 1/3 country club burger.

I am jealous of all the cool toys these kids have. I sometimes just want to go back and be a kid myself. (I know some of you think I still am).

Seriously I am so proud of Taylee, I was holding on to the back of the seat and running with her and then she was going so fast I HAD to let go and she just took off and my job was done. Good Job Taylee you are amazing!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her out there on her bike. Then Jordan told me it was her first time without training wheels. SHOCK! She is a pro!!
