Training Wheels

This story is a few months old.....about a week before Ellie's 5th birthday (on March17th to be exact) I asked her if she wanted to learn to ride a bike with no training wheels.

Here is a picture of Kevin taking off the training wheels...


Ellie's first attempt with my poor coaching.....(there were a few more attempts just as successful)...


and ten minutes later Kevin putting the training wheels back on.

It could have been the poor coaching skills or maybe the fact that Ellie is not very daring or a combination of the two, but either way we'll probably wait until six before the wheels come off again. :)

Valient effort Ellie! Way to give it a try.

At least you are a good mom and give it a try. Connor still has training wheels, too. Sadly we don't take the time to teach him and he is all scared to learn, too.

I was teaching Bailey how to pedal this week but she just doesn't get it. =)
It was funny seeing that you guys put the wheels back in the bike. At least she tried! =)
