Check

One thing on our summer To Do list is ditching the training wheels on Megan's bike.  Mark that one as a check


The boys roller bladed while I ran/walked along her side this morning.  I had to use a bit of tough love, as she wanted to rest every 5 revolutions of her pedals.    She'd get quite mad anytime I would let go of her.  It took a bit, but she did it!  The deal has been when she can ride 100' by herself we would get Dilly Bars (that's how we celebrated when the boys ditched the training wheels).
We had several 'so close' moments prior to her success in the video.  She would stop pedaling just when she would balance.  She told me she stopped because I wasn't cheering or encouraging her enough.  That is why I am laying the praise on a bit thick in the video!
