Riding a Bike!!

We went to Zoe and Maya’s house today for a small BBQ. The kids played together, ate together, and watched a bit of Paw Patrol together. They also went out front to ride their bikes and scooters and the big girls mastered riding a bicycle today!! Yippee!!

Here’s a video of her trying to start the bike on her own and succeeding! Woohoo!

Here’s a video of Janie and Zoe riding together until the sun went down.

Peanut also got to ride longer and faster today down a big wide cul-de-sac. What fun!

We couldn’t be prouder of our big girl conquering her fears, asking to take the training wheels off, and mastering a skill that will take her anywhere she wants!
