Chaney has been practicing her bike riding skills since the spring. However, one nasty fall to the ground shattered her confidence so in the last few weeks we have basically gone back to square one. She can still get started and ride but her turning style is like a semi. She needs lllooooots of space. Unfortunately, our house is not the most convenient spot to practice. Our driveway slopes at such an angle that is not conducive to gaining your confidence back and the sidewalk in front of our house is not wide enough for her. She needs wide open spaces (cue the Dixie Chicks song...) so you can usually find us at the local school parking lot or church parking lot riding. She is slowly getting the hang of everything again. Sometimes it takes lots of practice....or mom and dad bribing you with ice cream for dinner:-)
PS-Our kids probably have the only dad who will take video of them, edit it from their iPhone and post it in a matter of a few minutes. Such a nerd but so grateful for these little moments to have forever. We are doing our best to pass on the "nerdiness" to our kids.
