Eleri has outgrown her bike, but we know that it is best to master the two-wheels with a smaller bike. We learned this from our mistake with Emersyn. We had bought her a bigger bike before she learned how to ride two-wheels. The hardest part of learning to ride two-wheels is the start which is more difficult on a big bike.

Eleri began her two-wheel adventure on a beautiful day in March. Jim took the training wheels off her bike and she was set to go.

Elle was beginning to get it, but she DID NOT want Jim to let go!

And, then Sophie came down to play…and Elle was done – too distracted. Elle went skipping off to the sand pit with Sophie.

Today, a beautiful Sunday, Jim took Elle down to try again. She had it down in about five minutes.

Elle also mastered the start all on her own!

Next to master two-wheels or at least try was Brenda. Emmy wanted me to learn to ride her rip stick. I can’t say I mastered it today, but it was fun.

Emmy showed me how it was done – she makes it look so easy!
