Rachel learns to ride a bike!

Big milepost today- Rachel learned to ride her bike with no training wheels. Yesss! For weeks I've been worried about the whole training routine- you have be in pretty good shape to run behind a bike shouting "Pedal! Pedal!" So it was with some worry that I removed Rachel's training wheels today. We tried this a couple of months ago, only to quickly put them back on.



But something clicked, and rachel took right off. First she figured out how to balance the bike, then how to turn, and finally how to take off with no help from Dad. Within an hour she was biking around the neighborhood.

So I'm done running behind bikes. For a few years, until Sophia needs a little help.
