Whew -- after what seems like two years of trying to help Maddy learn how to ride her bicycle, she mastered it yesterday! Our neighbors had a smaller bike for their granddaughter, so Maddy practiced on it and voila -- she became a rider without training wheels! Mr. Tennis practiced with her up and down the street. She is so proud of herself and we are too!
Way to go Maddy girl!!
Now, she's going to try and follow in my footsteps and win a bicycle championship. Not to brag, but yes, I was the winner in the girls 10-year old age group at a bicycle-riding competition a few (ahem, quite a few) years back. Won a great big trophy that my brother accidentally broke on the way home from the championship. Funny how you remember those things,right Tom!!
I see lots of bicycle rides in our future! :)

I got a chuckle out of your bike/trophy story. It is fun to let our siblings know we haven't forgotten these things.
Yay Maddy! Jade took hers off, but can't ride her bike! Any tips besides the smaller bike??
Way to go Maddy! She'll be in her first race in no time.
You go Maddy! It's always such an accomplishment to be riding your first two wheel bike. And momma congrats to you too! ;) Yes we do remember those things don't we?
Congratulations, Maddie! We're struggling with this right now. I took the training wheels off Emma's bike, but she just doesn't have the confidence she needs to take off. I hope we can duplicate your success soon - because my back hurts from running alongside her holding on!
Yay for Maddy! I know she is so proud of herself!
Yippee! Way to go, Maddy! She's a doll!
