Riding without Training Wheels!!

Saturday was a big day for Raleigh and Madeline . . . they learned how to ride bikes without training wheels! It was raining, but they still did it! Raleigh picked it up in about ten minutes- she's crazy! Since then, she has been polishing up her turning, starting by herself, and stopping. She likes to ride around and around the house or in big loops on the driveway and grass.

Amazingly, Madeline learned how to ride her bike, too. She doesn't want to try using her brakes yet, so she has had a few encounters with the fence, the van, and the cement. She's still a little daredevil, though, and wants to do it "by myself." The helmet comes in handy.
Here are Kevin and Rikki, our bike-riding helpers. They held Chooby and the video camera so that we could fully enjoy the moment.
