Milestone!

Phoebe has crossed one of the big milestones.   In my view it is the biggest.    I took off her training wheels sometime in October and the pedals as well, turning her bike into a large balance bike.  I had her gliding down the driveway and she was not very excited about it.  It is hard to get her away from her scooter.  We sat and watched a few youtube videos of parents teaching their kids how to bike.  I probably should have pre-screened them because several of these were “fail” videos.  The day before thanksgiving I came home and asked her to do a few glides and for reasons unclear she suddenly had no problem gliding down the entire street. Thanksgiving morning I put her pedals on and pushed her and she just pedaled away.  That was it.  Very proud of her.   At some point she needs a bigger bike because she looks quite ridiculous on this one.  Cristin suggested a “frozen” bike.  I am pushing for a Tony Hawk BMX bike like her buddy Gavin has.
