We spent 10 minutes that evening helping Camdyn learn to ride her bike. We would walk next to her with a hand on her shoulder, ready to pull her back to center when she would lean too far to one side or the other. It wasn't long before she was too hot and too tired, so we parked the bike for the night.
The next evening, I pulled my truck in to the garage and began my usual routine of unloading my bag, purse, backpacks, lunch boxes, and Chloe. Camdyn asked if she could ride her bike. "Sure. But stay close." I take everything in to the house and get Chloe set up with Dora and a cup of milk and then head outside to check on Cam. She is standing in the driveway, her bike laying on the ground beside her and she says, "Well. I have that all figured out." What? "You have what figured out?" I ask. She proclaimed, "I can ride my bike now."
Um...okay.
And off she pedaled on her tiny 12" wheels. I guess that's the pay off for waiting until 5 1/2 to take the training wheels off. I have to hand it to her...the girl has initiative.
We bought her a bigger bike this weekend.
Well done, Cam. Well done!
